* How can neighborhood residents and businesses go green?
* How can local business associations and neighborhoods coalitions
get ahead of the curve to take advantage of the new standards and
opportunities in sustainability?
* How do we plan for successful green futures?
* What can individuals do in our own backyard and with our
neighbors and local retailers, to create green neighborhoods now?
LEED - ND is the primary green neighborhood planning standard of the
US Green Building Council. The Gaia Education Ecovillage Design
program is the principal learning curriculum of the UN Institute for
Training and Research. In Louisville, the Clifton neighborhood has
committed to exploring these approaches to moving towards
sustainability, and other neighborhoods are discussing similar
strategies. Join us in a discussion with LEED and neighborhood leaders
in discussing opportunities for neighbors and businesses to "go
green."
