The City of Torrance and the Torrance Area Chamber of Commerce partnered to promote environmental initiatives through the establishment and maintenance of an Internet website, www.GreenTorrance.com. The website’s goal is to provide Torrance businesses a comprehensive source for “Go-Green” information.
The City of Torrance endorsed The US Mayors Climate Protection Agreement, becoming a “Cool City” in April 2007, pledging to reduce carbon dioxide pollution. The Torrance Area Chamber of Commerce, in order to align with Federal and State initiatives, desired to promote efforts to “go green” to local businesses. As a result, the Chamber approached City officials about joining together to promote energy conservation in Torrance.
By pooling resources, the City and the Chamber, led by the Leadership Torrance Alumni Association (a program of the TACC), partnered with Aurora Enterprises, an information technology solutions provider, to design, develop, implement, update and maintain a portal to disseminate environmental information to small, medium and large-size businesses. The portal website, www.GreenTorrance.com, will inform businesses on information, methods and resources to protect the environment, conserve energy, and save money.
