Green Fundraising Event for Dade County Public Schools at Coverings

On Saturday night my wife Giselle and I attended the annual Dream in Green Fundraising event at Coverings in North Miami. Dream in Green's mission is to develop and implement programs that promote energy conservation and efficiency, environmental sustainability, and the use of renewable energy. This organization builds partnerships with local schools, governments, and businesses for the purpose of reducing greenhouse gas emissions, waste, and our reliance on fossil fuels. One of the night’s special guests was Miami Dade Schools Superintendent Alberto M Carvalho. He received an award for his effort and excellence in promoting The Green Schools challenge, a unique program for educating K-12 students about environmental and energy challenges and getting them involved in real world solutions that reduce energy consumptions. The successful event attracted over 100 guests. There was also a silent auction with some unique and interesting items. Some of the items ranged from recycled handbags to Energy Audits courtesy of Pro Energy consultants. My fellow Coldwell Banker realtor Jenny May did a wonderful job in preparing the event and hosting the silent auction. My passion and vision for Miami being a 43 year resident is to see all homes be sustainable. This will require effort from all of us but, if we each do a little, we can make it happen.
