The Virginia Green Initiative is expanding! We’re building partnerships with Clean Fairfax, Washington Gas Holdings (WGL), Prince William County and many local businesses.
It was a packed meeting, reviewing updates (the Green Challenge is open and ready to take!), discussing upcoming events and guest speakers and then wrapping up with our spotlight speaker Tim Reichert of Energy Sherlock and Stephanie Burns of the Business Climate Leaders action network.
