Steven Beaty to speak at One Huntsville monthly meeting Jan. 20 focus on Huntsville's green efforts
Steven Beaty will be one of the speakers at One Huntsville monthly meeting Jan. 20 (details below). A city representative will tell what Huntsville HAS DONE to be green; Steven will talk on what Huntsville CAN DO to make Huntsville a sustainable green city and to meet the objectives of the Mayor's Climate Protection Agreement.
One Huntsville meeting is Tuesday, January 20 from 5:00 to 7:00
Ryan's Restaurant, 1808 University Dr. (East of Parkway)
Program:
"A More Sustainable City"
When Going Green Goes The Second Mile
The indicators that Huntsville is a green, environmentally-friendly city continue to expand. We celebrate this! Nevertheless, to move into the status of a progressive, sustainable city will require a deeper commitment of resources and a collaboration approach, including broad citizen engagement. The evening's program is a step in that direction.
The program will begin with an update from representatives from the City of Huntsville summarizing their progress and intentions for the future. This will be followed by a review of the 2008 Sustain Lane US City Rankings, analyzing the greening of the 50 most-populous cities in the nation on these pages - and the most complete report card on urban sustainability in America that includes benchmarks each city's performance in 16 areas of urban sustainability. We will then hear a presentation from leaders from the Coalition for a Greener Huntsville and Madison County, profiling their work to build a broad-based coalition that addresses:
-Defining and modeling sustainability in urban communities
-Development of a comprehensive plan to become measurably sustainable, including Carbon Emissions indicators
-Steps to Huntsville's implementing the US Conference of Mayor's Climate Protection Agreement
-Renewable energy initiatives
-The leverage power of green and public space
-Bike paths
-Faithbased efforts that embrace environmental stewardship, looking at both traditional and creative approaches and at the Alabama Interfaith Power and Light Project
The evening will conclude with a presentation of a comprehensive packet of user-friendly resources for spiritual, civic, non-profit, and business communities - and an invitation to join the movement!
5:00 p.m. Dinner* and informal table discussion
5:45 p.m. Sharing community news
6:00 7:00 p.m. Program with Dialogue
Can't come for the full time? Come anytime between 5:00 and 7:00.
