Bloomington City Council members Dave Rollo and Isabel Piedmont are in the studio, joined later via phone by State Representative Matt Pierce, to discuss the problems and possibilities of greening city and state government. Of primary focus is finding the balance between “the three E’s of environmentalism” as framed by the Commission on Sustainability, those being Economic Prosperity, Social Equity and Ecological Sustainability. Other issues explored include impending local challenges due to iminent resource depletion which are addressed by the Peak Oil Task Force, the measurement and pursuit of emissions goals in the Mayor’s Climate Change Agreement and proposals from the Environmental Commission for mandating that municipal structures be built utilizing energy efficient green design.
