Megan Morrissey's July Update

This month I have worked on Recycling and secured 365 small recycling bins from the City of Pittsburgh. I have attended building committee meetings and they are working to convince the union to agree to our recycling program. They did approve our request to start recycling lightbulbs. I went to The Foundation Center to search for grant opportunities for a district energy feasibility study as well as attended the working group meetins on district energy possibilities. I have continued administrative duties for the URA Green Team including scheduling meetings, taking minutes, providing an environmental calendar, as well scheduling tours of greenroofs and green buildings. The large project that I have been working on are developer resource guides for the URA. These will provide case studies and basic information on sustainable principles as well as information on local organizations and economic incentives. I have also registered for the LEED Green Associate exam and plan to take it in a couple of months.
