PLATTSBURGH -- At its next meeting, the newly formed Plattsburgh Green Committee will be creating an action plan for 2009.
Organizers are encouraging individuals and representatives of local businesses, organizations and churches to have a voice in the process by attending the meeting, to be held at 6:30 p.m. Tuesday, Jan. 6, at the Plattsburgh City Hall community meeting room.
In a short time, the group has grown from a handful of city residents and business owners to more than 20 active participants.
The Green Committee seeks to be a central resource and organizing committee with a focus on environmental action to encourage sustainability in Plattsburgh.
Many local businesses, organizations, churches and schools have sub-groups and task forces focused on environmental initiatives. Often, these small groups are working toward goals that can be helped if linked with others with similar objectives, so Green Committee organizers hope they can join forces.
The Green Committee officers who were elected in December will focus the group's actions, communicate to the wider community and lead meetings. They are the chairwoman, Meghan Samolis; vice chair, Marcia Walosz; and secretary, Doug Butdorf.
Other members include students, educators, realtors, technology managers, engineers, retirees, retail employees, city employees -- all with a common desire to improve the local environment and encourage sustainability in Plattsburgh.
