The Bring Your Green Challenge, a program of Dayton Regional Green,
Dayton Power and Light (DP&L) and Vectren, is offering a $500 cash prize
to encourage the public to submit innovative “Green Ideas.”
The idea or project must promote environmentally-friendly practices in
the Miami Valley that can generate sustainable solutions such as energy
savings, carbon reduction, conservation, resource management and/or
sustainable mobility. Bring Your Green is seeking ideas that help the
environment and create healthier and more sustainable communities where
all can live, work and play.
Bring Your Green is accepting Green Ideas from the community through
February 15, 2016. The Dayton Regional Green Leadership Panel will vote
to select the best community Green Idea and winner of the $500 prize.
All ideas will be presented to Dayton Regional Green Action Teams for
consideration as they develop 2016 Sustainability Grant proposals for a
chance at a share of $20,000 in grant funding offered by Vectren
Corporation. Bring Your Green participants will vote on the
Sustainability Grant proposals to determine which project(s) will
receive funding.
“The community Green Idea is meant to increase overall awareness of
sustainable living and create a ’buzz’ in the community as well as bring
awareness of the Dayton Regional Green Action Teams,” said Montgomery
County Commission President Debbie Lieberman. “All ideas large and small
are welcome and encouraged.”
“One of Vectren’s core values stands on the commitment of our
contribution to the social, economic and environmental sustainability of
the communities we serve,” said Colleen Ryan, president of Vectren
Energy Delivery of Ohio. “The Bring Your Green Challenge naturally
aligns with this pledge and Vectren is proud to provide grant monies
that support transitioning green ideas into green realities.”
“Dayton Power and Light is a proud community partner, assisting Miami
Valley residents and businesses by saving energy, protecting the
environment and advancing economic development. The Bring Your Green
Challenge highlights sustainable solutions, and DP&L is committed to
encouraging these innovative green ideas and projects,” said DP&L
President and CEO Tom Raga. “We look forward to seeing the results.”
You must reside in DP&L service territory to be eligible for the $500
prize. More information is available at bringyourgreen.com.
The Bring Your Green Challenge is a year-long competition among
businesses, nonprofits and government agencies in the Miami Valley to

engaging their employees. 108 organizations with 192 locations are
participating.
