Clean Green

The built environment and the way we design our buildings and
green spaces help create our sense of place and determine our
character as a community. But it’s not just as simple as putting
down good plans on paper. It takes a comprehensive effort and
commitment from everyone not only to design livable, smart,
sustainable communities but to keep them clean.

Jeffrey Carbo is a landscape architect with over 35 years of
experience in professional practice, and the founding principal
of CARBO Landscape Architecture in Baton Rouge and Alexandria.
The range and scope of Jeff’s concerns include environmental
conservation, the historical and cultural context of local and
regional landscapes, and the attention to design detail in the
numerous places and gardens that the firm has created. Jeff is a
graduate of the LSU Robert Reich School of Landscape Architecture
and his firm’s projects have a unique design perspective that
have influenced decision-makers to follow the themes of historic
and cultural influences in design and construction detailing,
with reference to the French, Spanish, Creole and American
cultures

Kelly Hurtado is co-founder of the Louisiana Stormwater
Coalition, a nonprofit organization established in 2021 with a
mission of helping to clean up Baton Rouge’s polluted watershed,
which is littered with bottles, cans, and trash. The organization
is trying to help come up with a long-term program for stopping
littler at its source and trapping it before it enters the creeks
and bayous that make up the area’s watershed, which flows into
the Gulf. Kelly is a Baton Rouge native and LSU graduate who has
worked in philanthropy as a fundraiser for Our Lady of the Lake
Foundation and, prior to that, as a publisher of InRegister
magazine.
