greenUP! is not a single event. It is a promotional campaign headed up by the governments of Reno, Sparks, Washoe County, the Nevada Small Business Development Center, and a number of other public and private organizations. greenUP! "seeks to engage businesses, individuals, institutions, and organizations in taking action to become more sustainable and charting a path for a sustainable community." (Quote from the greenUP! website.) Environmental and economic sustainability is at the heart of greenUP! To promote these goals, greenUP! seeks to raise community awareness of projects, programs, resources, and businesses with green practices as a major part of their focus.
