How Green Are You? Cupertino Wants To Know

CUPERTINO, CA -- The Silicon Valley city wants to know how you make Cupertino a little greener. The local government has started a program called the Cupertino Scene Green, in which photos showing a citizen practicing sustainability initiatives may be featured in the site's recent edition.

Take local Cupertino Dentist, Dr. Harini Krishnapuram, for example. The dental practitioner uses non-toxic cleaning products that are rated at least 8.0 on goodguide.com to keep her dental practice clean and healthy for her patients and the environment.

What do you do? Send the city your photos of your efforts. Here are some examples:

• Recycle and compost
• Pick up litter
• Install Solar
• Plant trees
• Ride a bicycle
• Plug in LED lights

Email the photos to colleenl@cupertino.org.

Also, if a resident knows of a Cupertino sustainability champion who goes above and beyond environmentally for the city, the local government wants to know. Nominate this person for a CREST (Cupertino Recognizes Extra Steps Taken) Award at www.cupertino.org/crest.
