PAC Forum
The five councils of the Green Omaha Coalition met together for the first time at the inaugural forum of the Public Agency Council May 4th. In what will be an annual event, members and volunteers had the chance to hear about the activities of the Green Omaha Coalition's five councils, share news of their own initiatives and meet other active leaders in the community.
Suggested topics for future forums included: justice and diversity in the environmental movement; the future of our children and the environment; how to green the workplace; passive and solar energy systems; smart growth and transportation issues; the Home Energy Rating System program (HERS); climate change; peak oil; and net metering.
