Trikke Riders for GOVgreen 2011
If you’re out and about in downtown Washington DC today, you are bound to see a Trikke-riding promotion for GOVgreen 2011 (Wednesday-Thursday at the DC Convention Center). Six hardy riders are covering the Federal Triangle and Independence Avenue (and south) areas handing out GOVgreen promotions and answering questions about the Trikkes. GOVgreen 2011 opens tomorrow with an exhibit floor of over 160 booths with products and services for facilities, energy, transportation and conservation. The exhibit floor is free—and includes a ride-and-drive of eco-friendly vehicles and the chance to try out the Trikkes!

Blast from the Past: 2010 GOVgreen Show Floor
Last year, Wise Energy joined us at GOVgreen and we caught up with them to learn more about their solar panels. They’re back this year, so we thought we’d re-introduce them to the GOVgreen crowd!
