Welcome to Roanoke Valley Cool Cities Coalition.
RVCCC is THE local organization in the Roanoke Valley that is
tackling energy policy and the difficult problem of
global warming through education, outreach, and community
actions.
We know that to slow and ultimately halt
global warming, action is needed at every level, from
international to personal. Our goal is to encourage the
citizens, businesses, organizations, and governments in our
community to understand what they can do to reduce greenhouse
gas emissions, and to get started with the challenge ahead.
We're not just talking about
reducing greenhouse gas emissions, we're actually DOING
something about it. Be sure to check out our CFL
(Compact Fluorescent Lightbulb) Program link above!
The navigation bar above or our
quick-links menu to the left will guide you to all the details
about our organization and programs, including how YOU can get
involved to help in this urgent campaign. Thanks for
your support and interest!!!
