Philadelphia’s “Green Guru” Mark Alan Hughes says it’s little steps like getting city departments to know how much their electricity bill is that can make the Greenworks plan work. Yesterday, the City released an ambitious plan to make Philadelphia the most environmentally-friendly city in the nation by 2015. Hughes appeared on WHYY’s Radio Times this morning. If you missed it, here’s an Mp3.

Hi, I really enjoyed listening to Mark Alan Hughes this morning. In fact, I’m listening to it right now again to take notes. I just wanted to point out to the question on tax-deduction - our non-profit is one that maintains 1.1 million sq. feet of Philadelphia land, turning vacant lots into parks. I am currently working on raising money to plant 100 trees this spring, and all donations are tax-deductible, so if you want to offset you carbon footprint, go ahead and pull out your checkbook and get your tax deduction!
