 About "It's Easy Being Green"

In response to a proposal from the Morgantown Municipal Green Team, Morgantown Mayor Bill Byrne proclaimed "2010: It's Easy Being Green." This initiative celebrates our community's successes and encourages community-wide improvement, awareness, and enthusiasm, by promoting positive change, achievable goals, easy tasks, and fun educational events. The goal is to unite residents, businesses, organizations, and local government in a comprehensive approach to improved sustainability.
