SUSTAINABILITY - GREEN GUIDE TO DETROITCity InitiativesFor the first time, Detroit has an Office of Sustainability and its first director, Joel Howrani Heeres. According to Heeres, the goal of the Office of Sustainability is to foster a healthy environment, vibrant economy and social equity for all Detroiters. The D has reached several green milestones in recent years. All of the city’s 59,000 streetlights have been converted to LEDs. The city has recently adopted green practices to demolish vacant homes. Plus, downtown Detroit’s largest meeting space, Cobo Center, has taken huge steps to make its business practices sustainable.
Cobo CenterCobo Center is now a Green Meetings Industry Council ASTM/APEX Standard Certified facility. With Cobo’s recent redesign, enough natural light comes through during daytime hours to minimize main hallway daytime lighting. Also, the exhibit hall lighting uses 40 percent less electricity. Everyone loves recycling, and Cobo has placed recycling bins in all high-traffic areas. On the food side, My Green Michigan provides composting services to Cobo Center. In addition, Cobo’s food and beverage contractor collects unserved prepared food for pickup by Forgotten Harvest, a local company that delivers food to pantries, soup kitchens and shelters around southeast Michigan. cobocenter.com/about_us/green
Green Spaces in Detroit• The Green Garage is a former Model T showroom that is now a co-working space
and business incubator. The building was designed to be as green as possible, using solar thermal heating and material repurposing. Green Garage uses about a tenth of the energy, water and waste that a traditional office building uses. greengaragedetroit.com
• The Michigan Urban Farming Initiative (MUFI) uses urban agriculture to promote education and sustainability to empower the Detroit community and solve its social problems. Members also hope to develop a broader model for redeveloping urban communities. MUFI’s main focus is redeveloping Detroit’s North End to demonstrate some of the best practices for sustainable urban agriculture, strategies to increase food security and models for blight deconstruction and innovation in blue and green infrastructure. MUFI grows produce to support 2,000 households. miufi.org For more of our urban gardens | visitdetroit.com/urban-farming-detroit

PR 101.Our renowned public relations team is skilled at getting metro Detroit national and international media attention.
Our PR team can also help get the word out to local and national media about your upcoming convention or meeting by providing meeting planners with a general list of local media contacts. And as a service to key major conventions and meetings, the DMCVB public relations team will review and edit news releases.
For assistance with public relations, please contact the DMCVB media relations manager at 313-202-1999 as far in advance as possible.
TIPS FOR WRITING A NEWS RELEASEThe first rule of journalism for writing a news release is to write it in the “inverted pyramid” style, meaning that you include the most important information at the beginning of the release so if it’s cut from the bottom, key facts will remain.
• Include the key elements as early in your news release as possible, including: Who, What, When, Where, Why and How.
• We suggest that you keep newsworthy angles in mind to attract the interest of local media, business writers and columnists when writing news releases and asking for media coverage.
• The media is more likely to cover something with a creative and/or community and human interest angle than your election of officers, which would be of interest to your organization’s trade publication.
• If you have local sponsors or hosts with interesting stories or ties to the commu-nity, that is important to include as well. Include as many specific details about the event and your organization as possible so the media won’t have to search for them.
Also include your “boilerplate” language and Web address in your release. Here is a sample of the DMCVB’s boilerplate language:
The Detroit Metro Convention & Visitors Bureau is a private not-for-profit organization whose mission is to market and sell the metro Detroit area on a worldwide basis as a destination for leisure and business travel, including con-ventions, trade shows, corporate meetings, tours and incentive travel, and as a film destination, to maximize additional visitors, visitor expenditures, state and local tax revenues, and job opportunities.
More than 800 businesses are represented in the DMCVB’s membership. The DMCVB was founded in 1896 as the world’s first convention and visitors bureau.
