The Hillsboro City Council launched a successful green power challenge in 2010. The challenge, the first of its kind in Hillsboro, ran from April 1 through the end of June, and was designed to promote environmental sustainability and reduce carbon dioxide emissions.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency also announced a nationwide green power challenge in 2011 to encourage the more than 30 communities in 11 states, including Hillsboro, to use renewable energy and fight climate change.

The Challenge
Although the challenge ended in September, you can still choose a renewable option. Challenge results will be announced Nov. 30.
