DRI Green Power Program click on the icon
GreenPower Program - Helping Nevada's Kids Grow Up Green! Renewable energy, sometimes referred to as “green power” is power generated from renewable resources such as solar, wind, geothermal, and biomass sources. The mission of the GreenPower program is to support and promote educating Nevada’s K-12 students in renewable energy and incorporating conscious living practices into their daily lives. Since its inception in 2000, GreenPower has been a partnership between DRI, volunteer committee members, NV Energy, and their customers. Funded by the generosity of customers voluntarily adding a few dollars to their monthly electrical bill, 100% of the tax-deductible donations go towards renewable energy education in Nevada’s K-12 schools. |

The Green House Project--Carson City click
The Greenhouse Project concept started in November 2008 with the Carson City Cultural Commission, an advisory board to the Carson City Board of Supervisors, whose mission is to forward civic and economic benefit for Carson City and the State of Nevada. Cultural Commission member Karen Abowd proposed that the Commission undertake a project to increase agricultural and horticultural arts in Carson City. To this end, a Special Citizen Action Group of over 35 members was formed and, in February of 2009, the group presented the project to the Board of Supervisors. The project won the Board’s approval together with its commitment of staff resources to aid in establishing a community greenhouse. (To read more at their website, follow the link above.)
