CEC Visions for Greener Houston 2012
Please plan to join us in a participative, collaborative process, through a series of working sessions, in a group effort to envision the year ahead. Purpose:
- To picture where our environmental community hopes to see itself by the end of 2012
- To identify attainable goals for several environmental areas
- To produce a visionary document that summarizes these group goals, capturing the essence of this collaboration
- To share this vision with our local governments and the community at large
- To facilitate efforts among environmental agencies to realize joint short-term goals
- To introduce a wider spectrum of our citizens into the environmental conversation
