Nevadans are independent by nature. It is a value we hold dear and that newcomers crave. One area in which we have lost our independence is in energy consumption. Nevadans spend $9 billion to $12 billion per year to purchase coal, natural gas and gasoline/diesel. The time is right for us to begin to divest ourselves from dependence on petroleum and to invest in clean energy. The political climate, the economic climate and Greater Reno-Tahoe’s clean energy natural resources make this the ideal time and place to develop geothermal, solar and wind energy. Read more:

Janitorial companies in northern Nevada slowly are paying more attention to the use of environmentally friendly products and practices, but the change is coming slowly.

The hangup? Janitorial products designed to be environmentally friendly often are more expensive than traditional products, and building owners generally don’t want to pay the extra.

The pressure to go green often comes from tenants that rent space in office and commercial properties, says Brittany Diehl, who manages 10 properties in her role as assistant director of property management for Nevada Commercial Services Inc. in Reno. Read full story:
