Next TOLUG meeting: November 6th from 12:00-1:30.
Please join us for the November Tacoma/Olympia LEED Users
Group (TOLUG) meeting at McGranahan Architects 2111 Pacific Avenue #100, Tacoma, WA 98402. Our presenter this month is Bill Smith from the City of Tacoma
Solid Waste Management. His presentation will be on Climate
Change and Materials Management.
Bill will begin with an
update on how the City of Tacoma utilities compare to the rest of the
country. Bill will then shift gears and discuss how managing materials
can effect climate change.
Attendees will learn why Tacoma’s utilities are so green and
how this can be leveraged into an economic development tool for the City and
businesses located in the City. Attendees will also learn about the work
of the West Coast Climate Forum, a consortium of state and local governments
organized and led by EPA Regions 9 and 10. The work of the forum is
groundbreaking and involves sustainable consumption and research on the
relationship between materials and climate change and the actions that governments
and the private sector can take to reduce the environmental, social and
economic impacts of what we do.
