We’re Honored at Energy Symposium
A few of us just came back from the first Environmental and Energy Leadership Symposium at the Coralville Marriott on Friday, April 16. The symposium featured speakers, panel discussion and presentations of awards all designed to give business and community leaders more information about ways to incorporate green, energy efficient practices.
The exciting part of the event was that Prairiewoods received an award in the Alternative Energy Use category.We were nominated by board member Katie Giorgio for our use of solar energy. Other winners included Trees Forever and the Indian Creek Nature Center for its green marketing campaign to promote rain barrells.
It was also interesting to learn about the emerging trends in alternative energy and that cities, such as Grand Rapids, MI (named America’s Greenest City in 2008), struggles with such mundane worries as filling its potholes. Thank you to the Corridor Business Journal for sponsoring this event and offering an opportunity to talk about an important topic.
