A panel presentation, “Go Green: How Together We Can Make An Energy Difference.” The forum featured a panel focusing on how citizens, businesses, non-profits and government can work together and independently to cut energy use and find more efficient alternative sources. Going “Green” has become a mainstream value—and the panelists will discuss how their organizations, and their allies, are finding ways to make a difference.

The panel included: Deborah Donovan, Project Director of the Cambridge Energy Alliance; Tod Hynes, Director of Renewable Energy at Citizen Energy Corporation; and Janie Katz-Christy, Director of the Green Streets Initiative. The panel was moderated by Terrence F. Smith, Director of Government Affairs at the Cambridge Chamber of Commerce. Katz-Christy and Smith are also members of the Cambridge Democratic City Committee.
