The Conservation Foundation
and the DuPage County Green
Government Council invite
you to the DuPage Energy
Summit on January 23rd,
2014 at the Hotel Arista in
Naperville. The topic for
2014 is Making DuPage a
“Cool County.”
DuPage County, under the
leadership of county board
chairman Dan Cronin, is
developing a greenhouse
(GHG) emissions reduction
program with the goal of
reducing GHG emissions
10% by 2020 and 20% by
2030. Chairman Cronin
created a Green
Government Council in
2013, consisting of
representatives from the
private sector, to develop a
plan to meet these goals.
The DuPage Energy
Summit is an opportunity
to educate those stakehold-
ers and other community
members on how we can,
by working together,
achieve reduced GHG
emissions and help improve
our quality of life in DuPage
County. Speakers will focus
on specific, local success
stories around reducing
vehicle miles traveled, energy
efficiency at various scales and
funding.

Although anyone is welcome to attend the DuPage Energy Summit, those most likely to benefit from this year’s presentations are local
municipalities, small businesses, and those from the manufacturing and industrial sectors.
