Sierra Club's Cool Cities Program Works With Owensboro to Bring On a Hybrid!
 The City of Owensboro on April 2 unveiled its newest addition -- a light
green hybrid Prius that will be used for education as well as
for city officials to drive. The design was chosen by people going to the web
site and voting from
several possible designs. Aabout 20 Sierra Club members were on hand and all
wearing "Be Cool, Go Green" shirts. The Mayor Pro Tem, Commissioner Al Mattingly,
and
Lelan
Hancock,
who
is in
charge of the City's Cool Cities Program, both wore their shirts as did
several other city employees. Read
about the event here.

at City Hall, did much of the
work to make this car and design possible. This is her next to our banner
which we hung from dogwood trees in front of City Hall for the presentation. |
