Lexington Herald Leader, 05.19.09
Madison is a “green” city, and for any of the Commerce Lexington visitors who didn’t believe it, there was a pair of green colored glasses and a copy of the booklet Green Living for Dummies at their seat.
Seriously, Madison, WI, has long been a pioneer among American cities in looking for ways to improve environmental sustainability. It was among the first cities with curbside recycling, and energy conservation has always been big — thanks to
high power costs and below-zero winters.
Other cities and businesses are following Madison’s examples, not just because it’s a good thing to do, but because it makes economic sense and will make even more sense in the future as energy prices rise and the world grapples with increasingly
complex environmental issues and depletion of fossil fuels.
