On Wednesday, January 18, 2012, from 1:00 to 2:15 p.m. (EST), EPA's GPP hosted a webinar that focused on green power use in communities.

The GPP co-hosted the webinar with EPA's State and Local Climate and Energy Program to highlight how municipalities from around the country are leveraging EPA programs to reduce the impacts of their communities' energy use. EPA program managers discussed the Green Power Community and Climate Showcase Communities programs, as well as the tools and resources these programs offer participating communities. Representatives from two EPA Green Power Communities—Washington, D.C., and Corvallis, Oregon—presented information on their Green Power Community experience; Corvallis also discussed its Climate Showcase activities.
