Rockville leadership and the community have worked hard to become leaders in environmental stewardship. Here are some of our accomplishments:

Rockville was named the 2018 Sustainability Champion for amassing the highest points of all cities in the Maryland Sustainable Communities Certification program. Learn more at RockvilleReports.com/sustainable-rockville.
The city now has 10 times as many green buildings and 50 times as many solar panel installations as it did a decade ago.
The city purchases wind renewable energy certificates to offset 100% of the electricity used by our municipal operations.
The city is working with Pepco to install public electric-vehicle charging stations at Thomas Farm Community Center.

But there’s always plenty more to do! Sign up to receive the city’s Environment and Sustainability quarterly email newsletter in your inbox. Visit www.rockvillemd.gov/newsletters and select “Environment and Sustainability.”
