Green technology offers Earth-friendly alternatives to these practices. Mike Harmer, civil engineer and Dewey Beach planning and zoning co-chairman proposed encouraging use of green technology in Dewey Beach. He too urged adding a section in the comprehensive plan at the Saturday, March 18 planning meeting.
Harmer hopes to see town council eventually add Earth-friendly ordinances to the town code, such as requiring green technology in the new developments planners say are likely over the next 20 years.
