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.
