Roxanne Qualls - Sound Stewardship & Vision

The EPA has given Cincinnati (& Mercer Island,WA) aGreen Power Leadership Award for substantially cutting down our use of non-renewable energy sources.
Cincinnati uses 408 million kilowatt-hours of green power per year, enough to offset the carbon dioxide emissions of 60,000 cars a year.
That's 14% of our power consumption.
The main person behind this transition is Cincinnati Mayoral candidate Roxanne Qualls. Her leadership & vision in promoting sustainable policy in both energy consumption and waste management has saved Cincinnati residents money in the near term & promise to save Cincinnatians money in the long term. It's hard to put an exact dollar value on long term health benefits, extending the life of our landfills & prudently using our finite natural resources.
