An important new project has been launched by the Hot Springs/Garland
County Beautification Commission, the Green Initiative Report. This project,
“should have a significant impact on the future of Hot Springs,” said the man
behind the idea, Kent Myers, City Manager. However, his ideas go far beyond
what the City is doing... “We need for the Commission to gather information
on all the green programs currently underway including those involving
school districts, city, county, private companies.”
The project is not merely a data collection effort for the project, it is also an
opportunity for direct input from the public regarding environmental programs
that our community might be able to implement over the next several years.
The Commission is examining “Best Management Practices” from other
communities all over America to help find guidance. Then a special
committee including members from a wide variety of sectors of our
community including tourism, industry, education, government, civic
organizations, places of worship, etc. will put forward those ideas most
suited to being implemented in our community.
Finally, the Commission will include both current programs and future plans
in a comprehensive report that could be used to promote and publicize our
efforts to become the green community of Arkansas. This report will be an
ongoing project accessible via the web and will be of real value to those
companies and organizations being listed for their environmentally
responsible actions.
If your company, organization, school, place of worship, has a program in
place that recycles, reduces waste, reduces energy consumption, or has any
positive environmental impact please fill in the simple form, or if you prefer,
call the office at (501) 623-7871 and the staff will do it for you. You may also
make suggestions the same way or at the Earth Day Celebrations on May 18,
2008 at the Hot Springs Convention Center.
