BOCA RATON – Laura Castanza saves leftover dishwater for her plants, feeds food scraps to her pets and recycles — adamantly.

Education will be key, Castanza said. Co-chairwoman Susan Clemmons, a professor at Florida International University, agreed.
“It’s good to recycle but we want to address deeper things to encourage people to actually listen and change their behavior to support a greener Boca,” Clemmons said. Clemmons says she sees environmental consciousness in people in the city, saying, “It could be because everyone’s talking about it. There’s definitely a value system.”
