Every year hundreds of residents
of El Paso
participate in isolated clean up efforts organized by different community groups.
Their very valuable effort could bring even better results if coordinated
towards a common, community-wide environmental goal.
Defining that environmental goal,
or plan, is just one of the purposes for the upcoming 6th Annual Environmental
Summit, "Tu Comunidad El Paso, Keep it Clean,
Make us Proud."
The summit brings together
government agencies, local companies, high school students, environmental
experts, and El Paso
residents, to discuss the different environmental problems in our community, to
find possible solutions, and implement the solutions.
How to stop the illegal dumping of
construction materials out on the desert? What final use can we give the hundreds
of thousands used tires we dispose of every year in El Paso? Those are just some of the questions
we hope to find answers for during the environmental summit.
Some of
the participants in the summit will be Ed Archuleta, CEO for El Paso
Water Utilities, who will speak about the El Paso / Ft. bliss Desalination Plant
and TecH2O Water Resource Learning Center; Senator Elliot Shapleigh, who will lead
the discussion in the community grass root group; Keep El Paso Beautiful staff
will lead the discussion in the Youth grass root
group; and Assistant County Attorney Cristina Viesca-Santos,
who will lead the training on the enforcement and prevention of Environmental
Crimes, among others.
The event is free and open to the public.
Registration will begin promptly at 8:00
AM. Free lunch will be provided to first 350 individuals who RSVP
calling the number 834-4970 or by e-mail to Gterraza@tceq.state.tx.us.
