The Ecology Center Announces Groundbreaking Event
“Our list of invitees includes city, county and education department officials, our non-profit organizations and corporate partners as well as local businesses and residents,” explained Marks. “Bringing these various groups together gives me the opportunity to stress the urgency of making community-scale changes, and hopefully, to inspire and rally support behind what The Ecology Center is trying to accomplish – that is, heightening awareness and getting people involved in maintaining an ecologically sound environment via practical, eco-friendly solutions.”
This public unveiling of The Ecology Center promises to draw distinguished guests and officials from many of Orange County’s communities including San Juan Capistrano Mayor Joe Soto, Orange County Supervisor Patricia Bates, Ocean Institute Executive Vice-President Harry Helling, U.S. Green Building Council Chair Jorden Segraves and South Coast Farms Owner and Founder George Kibby.
“Most importantly, I want to introduce the community to The Ecology Center and to how powerful and vital opportunities of collectively redesigning how we perceive and connect to the environment are to Orange County’s future,” added Marks.
Additionally, The Ecology Center’s kickoff is aimed to generate donor support by enrolling local businesses, organizations and residents in becoming active members and sponsors of The Ecology Center. Especially in the midst of a troubled economy, financial contributions will be key toward supporting and providing resources for on-site exhibits, demonstrations and “green living” educational outreach programs.
“Now is the time to act,” Marks said. “Only together can we create a powerful center of hope and practical solutions for Orange County and the rest of the Southern California region.”
