The recent Public Visioning provided the Chattanooga Green Committee with invaluable suggestions regarding how to reduce our CO2 emissions and become more sustainable! Almost 500 people attended the event, randomly sitting at fifty round tables that filled the ballroom. A trained facilitator was at each table, and helped guide their group through the visioning process. People took turns around the table answering the question the Chattanooga Green Committee had posed to them: WHAT SPECIFIC STEPS SHOULD WE TAKE TO MAKE CHATTANOOGA A MORE GREEN COMMUNITY? The participants were instructed to think boldly, and they did! Each idea was written on a large sheet of paper by the facilitator. After several rounds, the participants were given 5 dot stickers and were instructed to place their stickers next to the ideas they liked the best. Some people chose to place all of their stickers next to the same idea, others chose to spread the stickers out among many ideas. Please check out the resulting "TOP THREE" ideas accessed from the left menu bar. We also provided participants with surveys and we will have those results posted soon as well! Please check back!
