PRESS RELEASES MAYOR BILL WHITE NAMED ONE OF NATION'S TOP ‘ECO-MAYORS’ June 17, 2009 -- MNN (Mother Nature Network) has named Houston Mayor Bill White among the nations top “eco-mayors” for his work making Houston among the country’s leaders in environmental and sustainability practices. The green network, cited Mayor White, along with New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg, Chicago Mayor Richard M. Daley, Atlanta Mayor Shirley Franklin, Denver Mayor John Hickenlooper, San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom and Seattle Mayor Greg Nickles. They “represent leaders who have significantly shifted the sustainability landscapes in their cities,” said the MNN announcement. Mayor White was recognized, said MNN, because of his “ commitment to improving Houston’s sustainability record is both genuine and remarkably effective.” MNN cited expansion of the city’s curbside recycling program, and the increase in Houston’s available green space, among other milestones. “I’m gratified by the recognition,” said Mayor White. “With a lot of people working together, including our City Council, we’re making a lot of progress.” Houston is the nation’s No. 1 government entity in purchasing green energy and despite double digit growth has decreased it’s power consumption by about 6 percent.
