Media Advisory: Representative Dan Burton to hold District Hearing on Green Initiatives |
||
(Washington, D.C.) – Representative Dan Burton announced today that he would be holding a District Hearing on Green Initiatives. He has invited a number of experts in the areas of green building/energy saving initiatives and community leaders to discuss current trends and best practices and how we can work together to promote these areas. Burton stated, "With the current energy crisis, I thought Hoosiers needed the chance to talk about potential environmentally-friendly solutions. 'Green' nergy and technology has become a buzz word over the last few months, but most people don't know what it is or how to use it. I hope our panels will not only educate people about 'green' energy, but also explain effective ways to use it."
