Part of this responsibility is educating their <br />community on the importance of green building. If The <br />ArtsCenter receives funding for this project, they will share the <br />story on their website and track the reduction of greenhouse <br />gases. This story will serve as an inspiration to other businesses <br />and residents to find new ways to reduce the community’s <br />carbon footprint. This project also opens up opportunities for <br />programming.
