Proud of the work of our team in promoting #solar in the region. Since 2014 our Solarize Northern Virginia program working with the Local Energy Alliance Program (LEAP), our local government partners and the Piedmont Environmental Council has resulted in 534 solar arrays for 4.6 MW of solar with a contract value in excess of $12.5 million. Good for #jobs and #sustainability. You can find the data on our map. https://public.tableau.com/shared/YW4YJ5NBF?:display_count=n&:origin=viz_share_link

Great job by Debbie S. of our team regarding #recycling in Northern Virginia. Debbie manages the activities of the Northern Virginia Waste Management Board. https://www.wusa9.com/video/news/verify/verify-recycling-content-landfills/65-d16c3cc4-b6fc-4c99-990e-26393c278507?jwsource=cl

Not all of what you put in the recycling bin gets recycled, but the real number is much smaller than a viral tweet claims it is.

Important information re: #COVID19 and #booster shots. Find your FREE shot at www.vaccines.gov.

Today, CDC is strengthening its recommendation on COVID-19 vaccine booster doses. Everyone ages 18 and older should get a booster shot either when they are 6 months after their initial Pfizer or Moderna series or 2 months after their initial Johnson & Johnson’s Janssen vaccine.

The emergence of the Omicron variant further emphasizes the importance of vaccination, boosters, and other prevention efforts needed to protect against COVID-19. While there is much to learn about the Omicron variant, we do know that COVID-19 vaccines are our best tool to avoid serious illness & hospitalization.

NVRC's Community/Military Partnership Committee held a roundtable discussion comprised of academic, military, private sector and public sector cyber security experts. The panelists focused their discussion on cyber integration issues and activities including a focus on workforce needs and education. The Committee is chaired by Fairfax Supervisor Penny Gross. Included was a web site showing real time cyber attacks throughout the globe.

NVRC is pleased to work with our multiple partners on the Leesylvania State Park Living Shoreline project. We were delighted the Governor of Virginia joined us at the park to tour the project and to declare it a #Virginia Treasure. NVRC Commissioner, Prince William County Supervisor Frank Principi, has been a long-time supporter of the project and joined us at the event.
