UUPer Phil Boyle on City of Petaluma's Green Tem

Our own UUP Board member Phil Boyle, a City Planner, is a member of Petaluma's new "Green Team," as featured in a recent issue of the Argus Courier.

The group will take on many issues around encouraging environmentally responsible development and practices in Petaluma, and includes City staff and community members. The team will begin a series of regular columns in the Argus Courier on green living and sustainability.

As the Argus Courier article says:

The Green Team is currently developing its vision for 2007 and beyond. This vision includes a series of educational workshops for homeowners, renters, and business owners which will cover a variety of topics, from how to remodel your kitchen and bath using green building principles, to choosing alternative household products, to greening your home, garden and office. The workshops will begin in the spring of 2007 and will include tours of sites currently implementing green practices. Stay tuned for more information!

Also on the team is Trathen Heckman, director of Daily Acts, who spoke at UUP a while back.
