    I’m contacting you from Georgia Tech. We have a series of four free environmental/sustainability events coming up this fall. I think it may be of interest to everyone involved in Atlanta and the “green changes” that are happening in our community.

    The Innovations in Economic Development Forum brings together researchers, students, economic developers and policy-makers to discuss leading-edge ideas and practices in economic development and innovation policy.

    Our upcoming series is focused on sustainability and developing policies and practices for sustainable growth. Each event is free, and will be on or near the Georgia Tech campus.

    I’ve provided info on the first event below. We hope you will mention this event on your website – and invite you to attend, too.

    Thank you,

    In May of 2008, a team from Georgia Tech and the Brookings Institution released a report that provides the most comprehensive set of carbon footprints for U.S. metropolitan areas available to date, focusing on residential and transportation carbon emissions.
    In addition to describing some of the metro characteristics and urban policies that explain this variation, the report recommends a range of new federal policies that would help metropolitan areas shrink their carbon footprints.
