Daily Green

Good afternoon, all. The Daily Green comes to you today on location from Sacramento, at the 6th annual Green California Summit. Green California, facilitated by the California League of Conservation Voters Education Fund, is a network of 70 organizations working together to improve California's environment by conveying shared priorities to the state's elected officials. At the summit we've tackled the question of how to maintain California’s leadership in building a green economy. Meanwhile, in the news today:
