This semester in our Writing for Public Relation class we are working with Global Green USA to develop a media kit to show case their new project:
COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT AND CLIMATE ACTION CENTER
The Center will be the centerpiece of the Holy Cross Project and will anchor Global Green’s ongoing presence in New Orleans. The center will advance the green rebuilding of the Gulf Coast, making sustainable development the new standard for the region. It will include Global Green’s offices; a visitor’s center targeting tour buses and local schools; meeting rental facilities targeting smaller but influential groups visiting New Orleans; bank branch; corner cafe/coffee shop offering fresh foods; and passive survivability features (e.g., back up electricity, potable water, and sanitation for first responders in case of future storms).
It will also help export knowledge to other cities—especially those in endangered coastal areas or otherwise threatened directly by climate change—to create a unified front on the adaptation to and mitigation of the dangers of climate change. Locally, the Center will create new jobs, provide job training, incubate small business, and provide ongoing outreach and education on green building and renewable clean energy to daily visitors.
