Bethesda Green is a wonderful initiative, just completing its first year, to make Bethesda, MD a trailblazer in the area of building and maintaining a sustainable community. It is on its way to creating a great model for other communities to follow!

..absolutely revolutionize the way in which a city could run in as completely a sustainable manner as is possible. Bethesda Green has FANTASTIC ideas and has already put some things in place that seemed farfetched or too difficult to implement (such as recycling bins throughout the downtown area!) and would be able to do wonders with this imaginary 10 million bucks! Oh the possibilities...but just watch. Bethesda Green is quickly, efficiently and intelligently making strides!

Bethesda Green is unique because it brings together all the stakeholders in our community - business, government, and residents from retirees to students to parents. We are all working together to make our community better through programs like recycling, biodiesel, green schools, sustainable foods, and more. We are making our community more sustainable and this busy, metropolitan small city is really acting like a small-town community now. We're all getting to know each other! I've met so many great people through Bethesda Green and had so much fun - what an incredible, empowering experience!

A very ambitious venture to try to make Bethesda, MD the greenest community in America. Starting with purely community involvement and a shoestring budget, BG has already made an imact in its first year of operation. The orgnaization shows much promise and should be around for a long time doing much to increase sustainability in Bethesda, throughout Montgomery County, and across Maryland and the National Capital Region.
