EPA'S GREEN POWER PARTNERS IN TEXAS' 26TH DISTRICT

______

HON. MICHAEL C. BURGESS

of texas

in the house of representatives

Tuesday, September 21, 2004

Mr. BURGESS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the United States Environmental Protection Agency's Green Power Partners located in the 26th District of Texas: China Star of Lewisville, East Ocean of Flower Mound, Four Seasons Dry Cleaners of Carrollton, Judy L. Kelly PC/

Wellness Plus of Carrollton, Main Street Car Wash and Lube of Lewisville, Mike's Hobby Hanger of Carrollton, and Oishi Japanese Restaurant of Lewisville.

The EPA's Green Power Partnership is a voluntary program that encourages organizations to use green power as a part of best-practice environmental management. Today, the EPA recognized these Green Power Partners in Texas for their commitment to renewable energy.

Green power is beneficial renewable energy generated from natural resources; these resources are chosen due to their low environmental impact and abundant availability. Green Power Partners include commercial, industrial and community organizations that guarantee green power use as part of their yearly energy consumption. I am proud that Texas is the national leader in the number of Green Power Partners.

Renewable energy should be a part of our comprehensive national energy policy. I appreciate the important contribution that renewable energy sources make to our national energy supply, while at the same time minimizing environmental impact.

Again, I would like to commend the seven businesses located in the 26th District, as well as all of the businesses and organizations nationwide that participate in the Green Power Partnership for their dedication to environmentally friendly electricity.
