Clean Cities…Celebrating two decades of Clean Cities…Celebrating two decades of changechange

In 1993, many people had never heard of alternative fuels. Today, organizations in the public and private sectors are striving

to become more sustainable, the price of oil continues to fluctuate, and the impacts of climate change are growing,

making the need for alternative fuels self-evident. Alternative Fuels…Not an alternative, a Choice!
