The City of Huntington Beach has taken a lead in conservation and green solutions. The City has initiated a number of green programs encompassing a broad range of components including facilities-energy conservation, waste management & recycling, as well as water quality & conservation. One example is the installation of more energy efficient equipment and upgrades throughout the City’s facilities that will not only protect the environment but result in estimated annual cost savings of over $170,000.

Over 60 vendors were present ranging from the Bolsa Chica Conservancy to the Boeing Company.
