Eco-Chic: Changing America’s Landscape -
"The present-day challenge," says Wright "for community leaders is to create eco-healthy public spaces, adopt a “waste not, want not” commitment -become caretakers for the environmental community. Individually and collectively we face a critical decision: either implement green land use strategies and create eco-healthy spaces or continue practices that contribute to the decline of community eco-systems."
During Wright's session, she explores skills and techniques proven to move America's landscapes from eco-weak to eco-chic, creating a legacy of healthy community green spaces.
