Valuable Info for Every Manufacturer
Attend the Great Lakes & St. Lawrence Green Infrastructure Conference in May
Green infrastructure can mean many
things and the Great Lakes & St. Lawrence
Green Infrastructure Conference is focused
on green infrastructure to keep our rivers
and lakes clean and reduce the amount
of stormwater that flows through
storm sewers.
How Can My Company Benefit?
Economic
Industries in Detroit are finding ways
to reduce fees using green infrastructure
methods. The conference will highlight
industries in Detroit currently enjoying
relief from fees and provide advice for
how your business can also.
Environmental
For over 30 years, stormwater runoff
has been identified as the leading cause of
water pollution across the nation. Green
infrastructure is an effective method for
reducing the volume of runoff because it
is designed to mimic nature.
Social/Business Marketing
Manufacturers build trust by showing
that they are good stewards of the
environment. Sustainable business
practices are good for business and good
for employee health and morale. They
help a business market itself as one that
cares about the planet and cares about
people. Green infrastructure demonstrates
good sustainability practice in a very
visible way.
