As announced last month, Tulsa Partners, Inc. is pleased to host the next Fourth Friday Green Bag lunch this Friday, July 24 from 11:30 am to 1:00 pm. Topics at the Green Bag Lunches will inform people about ways they can live safely and in harmorny with nature.  The July 24th speaker is Michelle Barnett, P.E. CFM. Michelle is an engineer with URS Corporation and a Tulsa Partners board member.  Covering a “cool” topic for the summer heat, Michelle will explain low-impact residential development, including the use of rain gardens, permeable paving, and rainwater harvesting. Michelle reports that URS is very involved with Kansas City’s 10,000 rain gardens program.                 For each Green Bag event, the public is invited to bring a lunch and stay for the presentation at the Tulsa Partners Office at 2327 E. 13th Street (13th Street and Lewis Avenue).  The Green Building Resource Library, located in the office, is also available for browsing from 9 am to 2 pm on Tuesday, Thursday and Friday.   Tulsa Partners, Inc. is a nonprofit organization that uses public, private and nonprofit sector partnerships to build a disaster-resistant and sustainable community.
