Dayton Regional Green, DP&L, and Vectren recognized local
businesses and organizations from Montgomery and surrounding
Counties for their environmental commitment and announced the
winners of the year–long “Bring Your Green Challenge” as more than
100 buildings and offices competed to reduce their environmental
impact and save energy and resources while engaging their
employees.
By deploying energy efficient, and sustainable practices, Bring
Your Green participants realized collective savings of $534,000
from energy reduction, prevented the release of 5,100 tons of CO2
into the atmosphere (the equivalent of planting over 131,000
trees), and diverted over 17,000 tons of waste from landfills (the
equivalent of filling the Dragons Stadium Field with a pile 370
feet tall of recyclables).
“As part of the County’s commitment to a greener region, we
wanted to encourage as many businesses and organizations to save
resources and reduce our Greenhouse gas emissions,” said Montgomery
County Commission President Judy Dodge. “We are absolutely thrilled
with the results of this challenge.”
“Dayton Power and Light is committed to helping Miami Valley
businesses save energy and protect the environment,” said Tom Raga,
President and CEO. “We will continue offering Bring Your Green
participants and the community energy efficiency rebates to assist
adoption of energy-saving technologies like LED lighting and high
efficiency HVAC equipment. DP&L looks forward to providing our
experience and expertise so all customers can enjoy the rewards of
being energy efficient.”
"Vectren would like to commend all of our customers who are
participating in the ‘Bring Your Green Challenge’ and for doing
their part promoting energy efficiency and sustainability in our
region,” said Colleen Ryan, President, Vectren Energy Delivery of
Ohio. “We would also like to congratulate Dayton Regional Green
action teams that have received Vectren Sustainability Grants as
voted on by Bring Your Green participants.”
