Profiling low impact development cooperative at The Meadows on the Hylebos Puget Sound.
Since the first Earth Day in April 1970, public awareness regarding the impact of urban growth on natural environments has grown significantly. To further support the public’s concerns, according to the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC), the country’s leading national environmental activist organization, recent studies indicate that urban stormwater and snowmelt run-off rivals and often exceeds sewage plants and large factories as sources of environmental damaging pollutants.

▪  Taking the LEED:  Developing Green Neighborhoods
Moving sustainability beyond buildings.

Serving as the home to Tennessee’s First Families since 1949, The Tennessee Residence became the home of Governor Phil Bredesen and First Lady Andrea Conti in 2003.

Climate and energy policy took a big step in June when the U.S. House of Representatives passed the American Clean Energy and Security Act (ACES).
