Mulvanny G2/Climate Change

A recent State of Washington study shows how global warming is bringing economic challenges and opportunities.

Mulvanny Recognized for Recycling Efforts

Bellevue - MulvannyG2 Architecture was recognized by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for designing an innovative waste reduction program which benefits the firm’s bottom line and the environment.  The firm’s corporate office was awarded Honorable Mention as a small business participating in WasteWise, a voluntary EPA program focused on eliminating waste and encouraging energy conservation.

MulvannyG2 was also recognized during a luncheon awards ceremony at the 2006 WasteWise & National Partnership for Environmental Priorities Conference:  Partnering for Success in Sustainability in Virginia. 

State Study Shows Global Warming Changing NW Economy

Olympia – Climate change is already affecting Washington's economy, according to a study requested by the departments of Ecology and Community Trade and Economic Development.

A team of scientists and economists evaluated climate change in producing the state report. The study warns that economic effects are likely to grow in the Pacific Northwest as temperatures increase.

A warming Pacific Northwest, extreme weather, reduced snow pack and sea level rise are four major ways climate change is disrupting Washington's economy, environment and communities.

Key evidence of climate change effects in Washington include: retreating glaciers, decreasing snow pack, lower summer stream flows, more wildfires, and rising sea levels.

Ecology and CTED have published the report on their new multi-agency climate change web portal, which was launched today: www.ecy.wa.gov/climatechange .
