The perfect location to symbolize this year’s theme, “Taking the Next

Step for Energy, Sustainability and a Green Economy,” Florida is a

national leader in green energy and sustainability initiatives. The solar

panel roof of the Orange County Convention Center and the LEED®

Certified buildings scattered throughout downtown Orlando provide

ideal scenery for the various trainings, workshops and meetings that

will occur throughout the 2010 Summit. As conference planners, we

are committed to bring together leading professionals to engage in

discussion and open dialogues, as well as to progress both the state of

our environment and business. Be sure to take advantage of all the

opportunities offered by the conference, including visits to the Orange

the public, students, and practitioners on the results

of the research. FSEC, created in 1975 by the Florida

Legislature to serve as the state’s energy research

institute, is the nation’s largest and most active

state-supported renewable energy and energy

efficiency research institute.


GO GREEN

We encourage Summit participants to

carpool, take public transportation or

walk when getting around Orlando and

traveling to or from the airport. Visit

Central Florida’s Regional

Transportation Authority for more

information (http://www.golynx.com/).

LOCAL FLAVORS

On Friday, our walking tour of

Downtown Orlando’s LEED® certified

Green the 2010

Summit WILL YOU PLEDGE?

It is our hope that throughout the con-

ference, we will become more aware

of our impact on the environment, and

take action to lighten our footprints.

GREEN YOUR ROOM

Reuse your towels and sheets rather

then have housekeeping replace them

each day. Unplug your cell phone

charge and laptop when they are not in

use. Drink tap water rather then bottled

water.

http://www.golynx.com/


LET’S HEAR IT

We know we haven’t come up with

every possible greening method for the

2010 Summit, and we welcome any

input or ideas you have so that we can

make the 2011 Summit even better. Got

an idea? Send it to Liz Longenecker at

[email protected].

BAG-FREE SUMMIT

This year, we have decided to really

vamp up our greening efforts by

discontinuing our conference tote bags.

STRETCH IT OUT

Take a break from the hustle and bustle

of the conference and attend the

Summit’s yoga session. All proceeds

from the class will go to EcoAction.

For more information about this

organization, visit www.eco-action.net.

GOING PAPERLESS

For the first time in the history of our

conference, we have decided to forego

printing programs for every participant.

Instead we encourage Summiteers to

bring an electronic version to

committees and meetings when

possible, and print only when

necessary.

After the major success of Greening the Summit 2008 and

2009, we have decided to continue with this tradition and

challenge our participants to leave no trace as they enjoy the

beautiful city of Orlando and the magnificent diversity of

Florida nature. As some of the most influential beings in the

environmental protection community, it is paramount that

Summiteers take steps to help limit the impact of the

Summit as much as possible. Be creative, share ideas and

enjoy yourselves as you help us green the 2010 Summit.

Environmental Issues in Florida Mediterranean C

Climate Change, From Adaptation to Mitigation:

Planning to Adapt to the Worst Outcomes While

Using Life Cycle Thinking and Materials/Waste

Policy to See that the Worst Never Happens

Materials management represents 42% of domestic

greenhouse gas emissions. However, traditional inven-

tories do not adequately account for the full life cycle

impacts from materials. A life cycle view is necessary

to fully recognize the sources of materials-related emis-

sions so that meaningful progress be made in reducing

these impacts. Excluded (by ethnicity, class, or loca-

tion) communities are most impacted by climate change

and least able to form collective strategies to adapt. This

session will also discuss a methodology implemented in

five Latin American countries to increase the options

for excluded communities through coalitions with

entities at the municipal, regional, national and

international level to reach common goals.

Florida’s 2008 Energy Bill set a recycling goal of 75% by

2020. The State faces a daunting task to more than double

its existing recycling rate of 29% to achieve this goal.

Kessler Consulting looked at policies and programs

utilized in lead recycling states around the country and

developed a “Recycling Roadmap” to re-energize and

maximize recycling in Florida. This presentation will high-

light the findings and recommendations of the Roadmap.

Pollution Prevention

Oregon Senate Bill 737 presents big challenges to the

municipalities and businesses on the “hot seat” to

reduce persistent pollutants in water. This session

presents a replicable P2 program aiming to help meet

these challenges. EcoBiz, an ecological business

certification program, is a voluntary multi-media

approach that recognizes businesses who adopt a set

of sustainable practices. This program is now being

seen as a practical and adaptable “Plug & Play”

template to foster wide-ranging business practice

change, as well as a model for municipalities to meet

the requirements imposed by regulatory drivers.

Reforming the Toxic Substances Control Act

(TSCA): How are States Approaching the Issue

Current federal chemical regulations fail to ade-

quately protect the nation’s citizens and environment

from toxic chemicals and unsafe products. Major

reform of the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA)

is needed to ensure that chemicals used in

manufacturing are safe before they are allowed into

widespread commerce and use. To rely on containing

or cleaning up toxic chemicals after they have

entered our bodies or environment is dangerous,

expensive, and ultimately futile. A chemicals policy

that prevents toxics from harming people or the envi-

ronment is the smartest, cost effective, and healthiest

way to protect our citizens and the environment.

Social Science Research in Support of Pollution

Prevention: What Remains to be Done?

The importance of understanding human behavior –

individually and collectively, and in our roles as

consumers, decision makers, educators, learners and

myriad other places in our lives – rapidly becomes

apparent to anyone who does technical assistance work.

Where a scientific approach to behavior has been applied --

for instance, the application of diffusion of innovation

principles in small business technical assistance – the

benefits have often been significant. Yet for the most part,

a cohesive social science research agenda for pollution

prevention does not exist, and research efforts in this area

are often not as well visible to the P2 community as they

should be. This discussion forum will provide a brief

overview of social science research that has been applied to

pollution prevention and sustainability technical assistance,

and will then open up the discussion to include the

audience.

The Role of Cross-Cultural Considerations in

Sustainable Pollution Prevention

Cross-cultural divides hinder sustainability of

environmental prevention efforts; beyond ethnicity

next steps for Energy, Sustainability, and a Green

Economy require developing strategies and

cross-cultural considerations that address the broad

perspectives/priorities of the different community
