If you’re a Northwest Philly resident looking to be a bit more green in your daily life, you’re in luck. On Wednesday, May 8, the Germantown United Community Development Corporation (GUCDC) is hosting a community forum — entitled “It IS Easy Being Green” — focused on how residents and businesses can have a positive environmental and economic impact on their community.
The event is the second annual community forum sponsored by GUCDC, a relatively new organization dedicated to the well-being of Germantown.
“We planned the first forum specifically to introduce GUCDC to the community,” explains GUCDC’s Garlen Capita. “We wanted to answer the question, ‘What does a CDC do?'”
According to Capita, that event was so successful that they decided to use the same format this year while shifting the focus to sustainability. Like last year’s forum, this gathering is all about educating and disseminating information to the community.
“We want everyone who lives and works in Germantown to know that they have the power and the tools to improve the quality of life in their community,” says Capita. “Hence the title, ‘It IS Easy Being Green.'”
