Green is good for cities, not only in their coffers but also in their energy use.
Tempe hopes to grow greener with a new City Council-approved goal of 20 percent of city property using renewable energy by 2025. That goes beyond the state’s renewable-energy standard of 15 percent.
“The city of Tempe has long been committed to sustainability,” Tempe Mayor Mark Mitchell said. “From being one of the first communities in the Valley with a recycling program to our new grease cooperative that eventually could produce bio fuels, Tempe is at the forefront.”
