[RTC List] Green Building Event

[Robert Morse]

RTC has sometimes been criticized for concentrating its efforts too much on
telecommunications at the expense of other technologies. I thought I would
pass along this PSA about an event promoting green building practices coming
up. I think new energy technologies that events like this promote are as
important to our economic and social well-being as telecom. Here then is the
PSA:

Plan It Green presents Humboldt County¹s first ever ³Building Green
Communities² conference. The conference will be held January 17th, 2007 at
the Warfinger building in Eureka.  The conference is FREE to all
participants thanks to the generosity of local businesses.

The first session, ³Implementation of Building Codes and Ordinances² will
cover the costs and benefits of implementing green standards into local
codes and ordinances.

The second session, ³Creating a Green Building Rating System for Humboldt
County². will cover; green rating systems, applicability of these rating
systems in Humboldt county, and examples of green projects.

The third session, ³How Green Buildings Benefit Your Family, Business, And
Community² will discuss what makes a building green, how these green
buildings improve our community, and case studies of some local green
buildings. 

The catered dinner is from 5:00pm ­ 6:30pm and is $25, reservations
required.  For more information see our website at

Plan It Green is a local group of engineers, planners, contractors,
architects, and other professionals. Our mission is to encourage the
adoption of sustainable building and planning practices, in Humboldt County
and to facilitate their implementation through education and technical
assistance. We are a project of a local non-profit organization called CEED
(Center for Environmental Economic Development).
