We have recently reorganized the BEC (Building Environmental Community) committee and we’re taking Columbus by storm! The BEC committee has as new co-chairs Matt Baker and Dani Rickert and is led by Sarah Topy. Morgan Kuberek is heading our communications, and Stephanie Suter is in charge of special events. Meeta Goel is working on Education, and we have a group of wonderful interns helping with all the work that we’re doing!

In the last few months, we have co-sponsored a very successful Earth Day event, attended town meetings, and met with local groups who were interested in turning their neighborhoods into Cool Cities communities. (Cool Cities are communities whose mayors sign the US Mayor’s Climate Protection Agreement and whose citizens and leaders are working to substantially lower greenhouse gas emissions.)

Get involved with an active, energetic and growing group of Cool Cities environmental leaders in Central Ohio! for Upper Arlington, for Dublin, for Delaware, and for Westerville. To join BEC and other new Cool Cities communities that are coming on board all the time, contact .
