Get Ready to Celebrate!
| In 2007, the National County Government Week's theme is “Protecting the Environment.” Counties can show their residents the many ways they work to protect and enhance the health, welfare and safety of its citizens in sensible and cost-effective ways. In the activities they plan, counties can present how they encourage energy-efficient commercial development, use fuel-efficient vehicles, promote energy-efficiency in county buildings, recycle paper and other waste, and work to protect the natural environment for their residents. |
