Center City Business Association Launches Second Year of “Sustainable Philadelphia Series”
/This article was written by David Lane, Vice President, Center City Business Association
Joe Minott, Executive Director of the Clean Air Council kicked off the second year of CCBA’s Sustainable Philadelphia Series. Joe’s insightful comments about the air we breathe in our city, neighborhoods, and homes remind us of the critical work of the Clean Air Council and why we have launched this important series.
We understand that a healthy city, with clean air to breathe, fresh water to drink, parks and open spaces for recreation, are the building blocks for strong economic activity, a city where people want to work, live, raise families, and enjoy life in a healthy urban environment.
Our series has to date hosted many individuals involved in the important work of raising the quality of living in our city. Those featured include:
Christine Knapp, Director, Philadelphia Office of Sustainability
Nathan Boon, Senior Program Officer Watershed Protection, William Penn Foundation
Marc Cammarata, Deputy Commissioner of Planning and Environmental Services, Philadelphia Water Department
Jacquelyn Bonomo, President and CEO, PennFuture
Lori Brennan, Executive Director, The Nature Conservancy Pennsylvania and Delaware Chapter
Julie Ulrich, Director of Urban Conservation, The Nature Conservancy
Joe Minnot, Executive Director, Clean Air Council
Each of our series’ speakers has provided the opportunity for our members and guests to get involved in the effort to make our city one of the healthiest and best places to live in the country. We invite you to get involved.
If you have comments or suggestions, we would love to hear them. Stay tuned for the next event in our series.
