What They are Saying About the Green Business Summits…

"The Green Business Summits are a watershed moment in the sustainability policy discussion. The intellectual panel discussion educates the American business community by identifying the economic opportunity that will accompany the Sustainable Business Evolution. The summits focus on the benefits of sustainable practices by reducing costs, mitigating risks, and creating avenues into new markets." - Steve Lezman, PEPSICO, Director, Government Affairs

"With our state's unique combination of natural resources, cutting-edge R&D capabilities, and a skilled workforce, new and renewable energy can be a key part of remaking Florida's economy for the long-term. Events like the Orlando Green Business Summit, organized by United for a Sustainable America, showcase the exciting innovations already going on around Florida, but it will take strong leadership to truly harness their power. As Governor, I will ensure that Florida has the leadership, accountability and commitment needed to establish policies that support new energy and green jobs." - Alex Sink, CFO of Florida, and Gubernatorial Candidate

"I believe Cleantech is the next big thing. This emerging green industry will truly make us a 'community of tomorrow.' The Orlando Green Business Summit, organized by United for a Sustainable America, recognized the increasing consumer demand for greener products and showcased how Cleantech businesses are using innovation to tap into this exploding market." - Richard Crotty, Mayor, Orange County

"The Tampa Bay Green Business Summit provided the Pinellas Housing Authority with a unique opportunity to discuss and display the work we have been initiating in our sustainable weatherization programs and our cost-cutting initiatives. It is not often when government agencies can be celebrated for their attempts to become innovative and more efficient, and the Green Business Summit has provided an opportunity to display to our citizens and community leaders the work we continue to accomplish." - Joseph Triolo, Chairman, Pinellas County Housing Authority

Exciting News for Tampa Bay: “Plug-In Ready” Communities are on Our Way!

Interesting article from Columb:

The Tampa Bay area today joined other leading metropolitan areas developing electric vehicle “plug-in ready” communities, as it officially launched Project Get Ready Tampa Bay. The regional collaboration includes the Tampa Bay Regional Planning Council, local governments, the Rocky Mountain Institute, Progress Energy Florida, Tampa Electric and Florida Power & Light. The project, part of a national non-profit effort, kicked off at Tropicana Field with several business and civic leaders including St. Petersburg Mayor Bill Foster, Clearwater Mayor Frank Hibbard and Hillsborough County Commissioner Rose Ferlita. The kick-off featured plug-in electric hybrid cars and trucks including the Chevy Volt, Toyota Prius and Ford Escape.

“Tampa Bay is an important piece of this national program because of its large population, moderate density and mass transportation potential,” said Avera Wynne, planning director of the Tampa Bay Regional Planning Council. “This project can build the framework for a large-scale roll-out of plug-in electric vehicles in the coming years.”

What does this mean for Tampa Bay? This is what will help not only promote energy efficiency and change our way of living, but it will keep the Tampa Bay area and Florida in the national and international arena as leading the energy efficiency movement!

Look for more talk of this at the 2nd Annual Tampa Bay Green Business Summit!
