Environmental Advisory Council
North Carolina's Eastern Region Environmental Advisory Council is a collaboration of individuals and organizations that advise on environmental issues in the region and the state. The group works collaboratively with the staff of NCER to develop programs and initiatives to promote a sound and environmentally friendly business environment.
The Region's Green Certification program was developed in late 2009 with support from the NC Coastal Federation, Neuse Riverkeeper Foundation, Sierra Club-Cypress Group, Keep Greenville Beautiful and Pamlico Tar River Foundation. The program is for all types of business and industry and acknowledges a business enterprise's environmentally responsible policies and practice. The purpose of the program is to assure the public that a company follows best-available environmental practices.
Low Impact Development (LID)- The Region's EAC has provided workshops on information to local leaders, engineers, planners and business leaders on the economic and environmental benefits of LID techniques and principles.
