Boynton Beach Green Community Alliance Holds Workshop Meeting To Feature Green Experts Jason Bregman, Associate, Environmental Planning and Design for Michael Singer Studio, Mary Jo Aaggerstoun, Independent Art Historian, and Jim Udvardy, Representative of the South Florida Commuter Services, will be the featured speakers at a workshop hosted by the Boynton Beach Green Community Alliance on Tuesday, Sept. 29, 2009, 6:00 P.M., at Intracoastal Park Clubhouse, 2240 N. Federal Hwy. Mr. Bregman and Ms. Aaggerstoun will give informative presentations regarding Ecoart and how "green professionals" can integrate green building practices into their projects, increase their "green points" and demonstrate how to develop critical teams to accomplish these goals. Mr. Udvardy will be speaking on the use of alternative modes of transportation by providing assistance to commuters and free services to area employers. The presentations are intended to educate Green Community Alliance members and the public. For more information, call 742-6012. The formation of the Boynton Beach Green Community Alliance is the second phase of the long-term environmental improvement plan for the City of Boynton Beach. In February 2008, the Boynton Beach City Commission approved a resolution establishing a Green Task Force to oversee the process of improving and sustaining the environmental needs of the community. After six months of intensive research, and an inventory of best practices, the eight-member Green Task Force, comprised entirely of City and Community Redevelopment Agency staff, presented their final recommendations to the City Commission. The next step included incorporating public participation through the creation of the Green Community Alliance. Members include residents, businesses and organizations with links to the City, who are working in concert with City staff to prioritize local efforts and implement the Commission-approved recommendations. The end result will be a Climate Action Plan for the City, to include a carbon emissions reduction target and implementation programs.
