GreenCell in Castleberry

“You can give a community a recycling bin, or you can teach them how to be green.”

We are launching the first “GreenCell” community with GreenPlate in Castleberry HIll Arts District.  Our community will learn and work together to identify and implement an array of environmentally impactful solutions for community, restaurant and residential improvements. Categories are water and energy efficiency, resource conservation, waste reduction, recycling, and composting. A few of the MANY solutions include community clean-ups that recycle the waste gathered, restaurants’ collective buying arrangements for disposable biodegradable take-out products, free energy-saving tips for the home, and community-sponsored reusable shopping bags.

The committee will work with GreenPlate to produce “living documentation” of tools, resources, tips, training kits, and trained GreenCell Ambassadors to help other neighborhoods follow suit.

Castleberry Hill sees this opportunity as a way to build community cohesiveness and “spirit”, promote the existing events and have a cleaner and safer neighborhood. GreenPlate sees it as a way to reduce a community’s environmental impact and to nurture green growth one GreenCell at a time.
