From the Desk of
Scott M. Stringer:
Dear friend:
While almost everyone today understands that
green building is important, the challenge is to bring
environmentally sustainable building practices out of
the museums and mega towers and into our everyday
lives.
With the flood of development and redevelopment
taking place in New York City, we must overcome the myth
that having green, healthy, environmentally sustainable
buildings to live and work in is too costly or impractical
for anything but trophy buildings.
Through information sharing, careful planning, and training,
building green can also be cost effective, and my office is
working hard to get that message across.
Please join me October 25th for Build It Green!,
an important conference aimed at bringing healthy
construction, maintenance, and retrofitting practices
to the neighborhoods of Northern Manhattan.
This conference, which is part of my Go Green East Harlem
initiative, will provide participants with practical
information on financing green building projects,
implementing non-hazardous cleaning and pest
management strategies, retrofitting existing buildings
to create greener, healthier environments, and the nuts
and bolts of creating green roofs.
Amanda Burden, Director of the Department of City Planning,
will be our keynote speaker and a range of experts will lead
informative discussions on each of these topics.
Please mark your calendars and plan to be a leader
in helping your community Go Green!
Sincerely
