Revelry By The River 2008! Honoring the Mayor’s Office of Long-Term Planning and Sustainability and PlaNYC 2030, and IBM

Date: Thursday, June 5, 2008
Time: 6-10pm

Revelry by the River is Solar One’s annual fundraising gala held in May or June. Beyond raising money for Solar One, Revelry seeks to honor those who are working to make New York City a cleaner, healthier and more sustainable place to live.

In April 2007, Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg and the Office of Long-Term Planning and Sustainability unveiled PlaNYC, a 25-year roadmap for New York City to meet the challenges of a growing population, aging infrastructure and unpredictable environment. With input from thousands of citizens and dozens of experts, PlaNYC focuses on the fi ve key dimensions of the city’s environment - land, air, water, energy and transportation - and contains initiatives for the improvement of each. With many of these initiatives already underway, PlaNYC has commenced its impact on the day-to-day lives of New Yorkers and our local environment, an impact that will only deepen in the months and years to come.

Today’s energy- and climate-related issues are at the top of IBM’s strategic agenda. IBM recognizes that information technology plays an extremely important role in helping solve the myriad of ecological challenges faced by the global society—such as conserving our scarce resources even as global demand skyrockets, reducing pollution, minimizing the environmental impact of our activities, and enabling safe and renewable alternative sources of energy.
