Iler Planning Group Expands Its Environmental Planning Leadership Role by Offsetting Carbon Emissions
Iler Planning Group, a leader in “green master planning” in Florida, has furthered its commitment to sustainable planning by offsetting its CO2 emissions with renewable sources of energy.
Palm Beach Gardens, Florida, (FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE) March 17, 2008 – Iler Planning Group (IPG) has announced it is offsetting the company’s CO2 emissions, thereby becoming the first Florida urban planning firm to become carbon neutral. IPG is a leader in the development of green planning initiatives and environmentally sustainable municipal regulations. Through its work with local communities and municipalities, IPG is at the forefront of community visioning and policy change. By accepting that responsibility and working to reduce and offset CO2 emissions, IPG continues to demonstrate leadership in the planning community.
As urban areas expand, communities need to preserve open lands and environmentally sensitive areas, and mitigate environmental impacts related to development. IPG develops land preservation strategies and Green Master Plans for communities and municipalities throughout Florida. Green Design and Carbon Neutrality are essential components of sustainable planning, and are used by the most cutting-edge communities to help combat global warming. Through incorporation of Green Design and Carbon Neutral strategies, IPG develops the objectives, policies, and regulations required to make its clients leaders in global visioning and sustainable planning.
IPG’s support of renewable energy and carbon offsets with Carbonfund.org is a natural extension of the work it does on behalf of its clients. “Iler Planning Group is excited to join the growing number of businesses who have made the decision to offset their CO2 emissions and help fight global warming,” said Henry Iler, AICP, President and Principal of IPG. “As municipal planners, we are at the forefront of policy change and we embrace that responsibility by working comprehensively within our communities to reduce greenhouse gases at the local level.”
“IPG already understands that future urban development must be sustainable—it’s been providing eco-conscious planning services for over 12 years,” said Eric Carlson, Executive Director of Carbonfund.org. “Now IPG is taking its green initiatives even further, and we’re proud to help IPG go CarbonFree.”
