Green Works LIFE is an educational
program designed to provide the Orlando Community with information on
how to reduce their environmental footprint and conserve energy and
resources. By providing tools and resources, Orlando will empower
residents to lead environmentally-friendly lifestyles.
To officially launch Green Works LIFE,
Mayor Dyer and City employees participated in an educational fair that
provided information on how people can “Go Green” while saving money.
Education is the foundation of Mayor Dyer’s Green Works Orlando
initiative. The Mayor and City staff have made a commitment to lead by
example when it comes to helping preserve and protect our environment.
