June 3rd LCDC Meeting Features Energy & the Environment

As the LCDC launches its “Locally Grown” initiative for community service and gears up to support Jeff Barnett in the November Congressional election, we turn to a major issue that is of vital importance to Loudoun County, our state, our nation, and our planet – Energy and the Environment.

While being central to the economic recovery, job creation (including the green economy) and transportation challenges, “Energy and the Environment” leads the daily news cycle with updates on the oil disaster in the Gulf that starkly illustrates the dangers of the “drill-baby-drill” mantra echoed by Sarah Palin and her followers. See one newspaper’s opinion in the following editorial entitled “Gulf’s Lesson for Virginia.”

Amid the bad news in the Gulf, several magical initiatives are underway in Loudoun. At our June 3rd meeting, learn much more about the inspiring new efforts in Loudoun to lead the nation in Green Programs from Loudoun Supervisor Andrea McGimsey. Andrea’s talk will be followed by an energetic Q&A session.
