Decatur Environmental Sustainability Board Member KC Boyce recently asked about question facing his Board on Twitter…

#DecaturGA is working on ordinance updates (for 2012-13). What do you think about #green building requirements for new development?

From a look at the Sustainability Board’s agenda over the past couple months, it looks like this has been an ongoing conversation about whether the ESB should pursue an interim policy for consideration by the City Commission.

As for the other question that Mr. Boyce raised on Twitter a couple of months ago, “Should #DecaturGA ban or tax plastic bags and/or disposable take-out containers?”, and a subsequent Board survey, the Board’s meeting minutes it sounds like they’ve decided to pursue an educational campaign to reduce plastic and other non-reusable bags instead of an outright ban.
