August: Miriam Parson

SUSTAINABILITY CLIMATE FELLOW
Green Building Alliance

Summary:
In August 2010 a main priority has been working with the Pittsburgh Climate Initiative Partners to redesign its messaging and branding to unify our four sectors for publicity and recruitment. I have also focused on continuing progress on the second Pittsburgh Climate Action Plan. The higher education chapter is complete and sent out for review. There is significant progress on the government chapter, and I am continuing to work with the City’s Authorities to include recommendations for their operations as part of government. The community chapter is outlined, and the business chapter is being discussed by the Business Climate Coalition. I am also organizing a service event with the universities for mid-October and working with GBA to secure funding for PCI in 2011 and beyond.
