Title

Presentation and Training of The Natural Step - Sustainability Framework by Karl Van Lith

 

Karl started the presentation by going through the agenda. Karl then went through the PowerPoint presentation. (Attached to these minutes.) Judy asked about recycling our computers. Staff indicated that the City sells/gives away some computers and the City also has a contract with Cascade Asset Management to recycle our old computers. Satya wanted to know how do the TNS projects grow? Staff mentioned that the projects do grow and used the energy wasters as an example. The City first determined which buildings use the most energy and now FM is taking steps to reduce energy use at these building. Staff also mentioned Fleet. The TNS project was to develop CAFE standards for our Fleet, but the project now includes a whole host of other initiatives - like AVL/GPS on our fleet, vehicle type, etc. Sherrie also mentioned Green Cleaning, which started out at Monona Terrace and is now used in all City agencies. Judy asked, what is our goal? Staff mentioned the Mpowering Madison goal of reducing the community's CO2 emissions by 100,000 tons by 2011 and the City's CO2 emissions by 15,000 tons by 2011. Committee members then worked on developing their Compelling Vision Headline Karl will compile headlines. (These will be posted to the minutes when available.)

Next the group developed and discussed the baseline information they would need to be able to move toward their headline. Finally, the group developed and discussed actions that would need to be taken to achieve their vision. Committee members then shared their actions with the group.

Karl passed out the homework and explained it to the group. (Attached to these minutes.)
