USGBC Detroit Region is pleased to present an event designed to connect and cross-fertilize the sustainability communities of Detroit.

The one-day event titled, "The Sustainable Detroit Forum, Showcasing our Healthy High-Performance City," is being organized in partnership with American Institute of Architects, Sierra Club, Southeast Michigan Sustainable Business Forum, EcoWorks/Youth Energy Squad, Elevate Energy, and Michigan Interfaith Power and Light.

The event will provide a day of interactive learning with morning and lunch keynotes followed by a series of short presentation of sustainable projects. These 10-15 minute Lightning Rapid Fire Presentations of completed/ongoing/future projects form the bulk of the sessions, allowing as many people as possible to share their sustainability actions and visions. Acoustic musicians will also be a part of the program, providing interludes and inspirational breaks. An innovative Green Mall will also feature green technologies and services.

 

Geoff Lewis presented a talk entitled, "City of Detroit Greenhouse Gas Inventory."
