G3 Digest

After a successful 10 year run, the G3 Digest will no longer be published by EPA Region 3.  The G3 Digest was launched to provide helpful, collaborative information for our diverse communities of practice from many sources.  The digest’s content focused on providing articles and events  that highlighted examples of today’s entrepreneurial problem solvers, market driven green technologies, green jobs, green towns, and green streets. Thank you for your many years of support.
