The city of Savannah has become the first in the state to accept a challenge to reduce energy consumption. Governor Sonny Perdue's Energy Challenge, part of his Conserve Georgia initiative, commits to reducing state government energy use by 15 percent by 2020. Governor Perdue challenged Georgia’s citizens, businesses, organizations, local governments and school systems to reach this goal.
On Thursday, August 28, the Savannah City Council adopted a resolution accepting the Governor’s Energy Challenge. It is Savannah's first major policy adoption under the city's newly launched Thrive campaign, which aims to make the city a healthier, more environmentally sensitive, and more energy-efficient community.
