Following the release of the New Orleans Green Building Assessment, the Sierra Club Delta Chapter, the United Steel Workers Local 620 and various other community and environmental organizations are putting together a conference to discuss green rebuilding in New Orleans. It is the first of its kind designed specifically to track the past progress and future continuation of sustainable construction practices since the infamous storm that changed the city forever. 3 tour options will be available focusing on the registrants’ choice of current green building projects, urban farms and farming in metro New Orleans, or green jobs. The conference will also feature a first-hand experience of green building in the city via a bus tour led by one of the most respected environmentalists in the area, Darryl Malek-Wiley. The event will culminate in a unique brainstorming workshop that will serve as a launch point for the New Orleans community to devise a working plan for green initiatives throughout the metro area in 2010. The conference website, rebuildnolagreen.com, will be used as a portal for accessing agendas developed in the workshop as well as to facilitate the interaction of those who attended the conference and want to put their plans into action. A great networking opportunity, persons of all backgrounds who are interested in learning or educating are both welcome and encouraged to participate.
CONTINUING EDUCATION CREDIT will be offered for architects, landscape architects and realtors for attendance!!
