Lia Ayley: You were the first full-time public-sector sustainability coordinator in the state of Arkansas. What does your job as sustainability coordinator involve?
John Coleman: My job was approved on the understanding that it would pay for itself through energy conservation within our local government, so obviously energy conservation initiatives are my number one priority. But there are a whole host of other things I’m involved with as well, like low-impact development standards, green building policy, transportation initiatives, water issues, and so much more. I also give many talks on sustainability initiatives to groups around the city and the state. Sustainability is a hot topic right now around the world, and very much so here in Northwest Arkansas as well. So I stay pretty busy.Read the rest of the interview in CitiesGoGreen Magazine's October issue.
