Greener Virginia
Course# TD1392

One of the JMU Environmental Stewardship Workshops developed in cooperation with The Institute for Stewardship of the Natural World. You may attend one or all of the sessions.

The Greener Virginia CommonHealth program will help state employees to eat green, live green and save green.

Did you know...

  • Americans throw away enough aluminum to rebuild our entire commercial fleet of airplanes every three months?
  • Cigarette butts and filters take 12 years to biodegrade? If every American recycled just one-tenth of their newspapers, we could save about 25 million trees each year?
  • Many businesses, organizations and individuals are making the commitment to "go green". What does it all really mean?
  • You can reduce your electric bill and put money in your pocket.


With the coming Greener Virginia program, we will be awarding cash gift cards as incentives. What could be greener? They are much more cost effective and require no boxing, shipping and delivering. All the participant needs to do is sign in with their ID number and they will be added to the drawing list. We will be drawing monthly for several $10, $25 and $100 winners in every region. At the end of the quarter, we will draw one name for a $500 cash prize. We know everyone appreciates money! Winners will be subject to tax, and we will send a letter to that effect.
