“As the Mayor of Hermosa Beach, I am proud that this type of progress — and environmental leadership — is taking place in our community! One thing is clear after Copenhagen — it’s up to local and state governments, and the communities they represent, to lead the way at encouraging innovation in green technology, sustainable development and responsible energy consumption. As an early adopter of the Cool Cities initiative, this is exactly the type of project we were looking to foster when we committed to surpassing its 2020 environmental benchmarks.”

creating a livable city. Putting a public face on a remodel project empowers
others to think about steps they can take.”

3V Signs & Graphics is proud to support the Green Idea House! Their efforts to renovate a residence and strive toward a “0 carbon footprint” is a commendable endeavor.
