Greening San Diego

= Welcome =

Viridare in Latin means, "make green." After the wildfires of 2003 and 2007, the San Diego region is faced with strategic choices about how and what to rebuild. Our policies, practices, and plans going forward will determine whether we improve the resiliency and sustainability of our region or not. The fires have created an opportunity for us. How will we use it to our long-term benefit?

= Intent =

This wiki is intended to foster the conversation about how to make the greater San Diego region more Green: economically, socially, and environmentally. In particular, to promote the practical dialogue for using the opportunities presented by the fires to jump-start green building in the region. Rebuilding, and redevelopment around the region in general, is one element of a broader transformation to more robustness, resilience, responsibility and renewal - sustainable success - across the region.
