City of Bellingham wins the 2008 Green Washington Award for Government! "For a relatively small city, it has instituted sophisticated innovations in providing green power, improving the quality of storm water run-off to its reservoir and has hired a director of sustainability to help guide the city's green-energy efforts. This city is really pushing things, said our judges, including becoming an EPA Green Power partner, buying all of its electricity from renewable sources, including wind and solar. As its mayor says, "We're on this planet for the long haul." The City of Bellingham will receive our Green Washing Award for government. * Runner-Up in Government: The City of Seattle"
