GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ-WLUK) — The director of Green Bay’s airport is invited to speak at the national Airports Going Green conference, after being the first airport in the world to be certified for responsible water management and stewardship. Marty Piette will be a panelist at the conference, which runs November 14-16 in Chicago. The panel will discuss water conservation strategies which provided social, environmental, and economic benefits to their communities.
Earlier this year, Green Bay Austin Straubel received the Alliance for Water Stewardship (AWS) Standard. To earn this certification, the airport worked with farmers who leased some of the airport’s vacant land and encouraged them to use techniques to improve the health of the soil and reduce runoff into watersheds.
