Thanksgiving, Gotham Green, Gotham Green Awards, Earth Day

When we selected a new date to announce the Gotham Green Awards® – delayed by the COVID 19 Pandemic and originally planned a week following Earth Day 2020 – I proposed just ahead of Thanksgiving. So as Wednesday’s blogger, Carly Meyer Bentley, shared last week, Gotham held its ceremony last Tuesday, November 17. Eight awardees. Our new Gotham Green® Group Coordinator, Shelley Simpson, posted to our Fredslist list serve her takethis past Friday. Shelley and my co-chairs, Friday’s blogger Fred Klein and wannabe permanent/ sometime blogger and architect extraordinaire Joshua Zinder, concurred on moving this Green program to the fall on a permanent basis.

 

That change led to another. Rather than each awardee – eight this year – giving a brief overview of their program, business or work that led to their recognition, Gotham Green® plans that each of its first four 2021 events features presentations by two of the 2020 award winners.

 

So even before the 2021 Gotham calendar gets revealed, my colleagues and I leading its original save the world group announce four special Gotham Green® programs:

 

►Tuesday, January 19, 2021 at 12:00 noon: James Periconi/ Periconi LLP and New York Passive House.

 

►Tuesday, March 16, 2021 at 4:00 p.m. co-sponsored by Gotham Philadelphia Colleagues: Alley Pond Environmental Center and UC Green.

 

►Tuesday. April 20, 2021 at 12:00 noon (just ahead of Earth Day): Green Energy Technology (GET) by JGM and Paul Napolitano of Two Sons Environmental and Critter Cleanup.

 

►Friday, May 7, 2021 at 12:00 noon co-sponsored by Gotham Princeton: Sustainable Princeton and Jared Witt /Princeton Maclean Group LLC.

 

Participation as with last week just involves you Zooming in; it makes it easy for you to lock in the date and join us (Email Shelley today!). Please do. Make it a date.

 

Happy Thanksgiving!

 

P.S.  Enjoy my fave Poco tune that covers a green topic (this one live).

I'm with Dan! Green is good and Gotham Green is shining the light on the folks who are keeping the planet green for us and for our progeny. Being part of the group is a simple way to be part of the effort and I am grateful for the opportunity.

Green is so important. I try to be green even in the smallest of ways.
