Amy Smart in Riverside for California Green Communities Challenge recognition!
The City of Riverside, which for years has been a leader among Southern California cities embracing a more sustainable way of living, got a dose of “star power” recently when it was honored for being the first city to become a California Green Community.
Actress Amy Smart, a leader in young Hollywood environmental circles who has appeared in films such as Varsity Blues, The Butterfly Effect and Crank, presented Riverside Mayor Ron Loveridge and other officials with a silver award from the California Green Communities program. Other cities that have since achieved silver status as well include Claremont, Monrovia and Santa Clarita.
“We’re honoring Riverside for all the amazing work it has done in the last two years,” Smart said. “Now all these other cities can look at Riverside and see that it is possible to do some of the things we have been talking about in terms of sustainability.”
