Deep Green Ad Hoc Committee

DEEP GREEN is an ad hoc committee formed by Mayor Tony Arredia and chaired by 6th Ward Alderman Mark Walsten that is working collaboratively with city government, local businesses and educational institutions to promote the community's environmental efficiency. The committee meets every few weeks to provide information on environmental issues to City Government and help plan educational activities for the community.

"People in our area, like everywhere else, are asking what they can realistically do to address climate change and other environmental problems. We started DEEP GREEN to provide an opportunity for citizens to work with their city leaders to help move our community's environmental program forward," said 6th Ward Alderman Mark Walsten, chairman of DEEP GREEN. "We hope to involve as many local residents and businesses as possible in these efforts and welcome their support for these programs."
