Energy, Economics, and Environment Summit comes to Cincinnati in October

The City of Cincinnati will sponsor an Energy, Economics, and Environment Summit on Oct. 2 at Duke Energy Convention Center. The event is a Green Cincinnati initiative, part of the City’s Climate Protection Action Plan. Businesses and organizations will gain a variety of ideas for cost-cutting, environmentally sound improvements for their buildings and operations.

The Summit’s condensed schedule—7:30 A.M. to 1 P.M.—allows businesses and organizations maximum gain with a minimal time commitment. Keynote speakers include Lee Fisher, Ohio’s Lieutenant Governor, and John Stowell, Vice President of Environmental Health and Safety Policy for Duke Energy. Breakout sessions cover a host of practical topics, including high-efficiency buildings, green IT and marketing, waste management, alternative energy, and financing for green initiatives. A variety of local and national companies will showcase green products and services.

Ginnell Schiller, City of Cincinnati Climate Protection Coordinator, seeks 8-10 volunteers to guide Summit attendees and work behind the scenes on October 2. To find out more, contact Schiller at (513) 352-6911 or email [email protected].
