Akosua Dosu, Prince George's County Dept. of the Environment, and Steve Beavers, City of College Park, discussing sustainability projects

Sustainable Maryland hosted the second Prince George's County Green Team Summit on March 3 at Hyattsville City Hall. More than 60 people representing 14 municipalities, Prince George's County Department of the Environment, and several local non-profits convened for an evening of peer-to-peer information exchange and inspiration. Attendees shared recent sustainability success stories and projects on their "wish lists", brainstormed about how local projects could scale up to county-wide projects and vice-versa, and identified common challenges and opportunities for multi-municipal and regional collaborations. Finally, EFC staff facilitated a discussion on the collection of data and metrics at the local level, and how this information can be used to communicate success stories to residents, potential funders and other stakeholders.

 

Many thanks to the Town Creek Foundation for its support of the regional Green Team Summits and other Sustainable Maryland programs.
