Gaithersburg Celebrates Green Practices

As part of Gaithersburg Green Week, the city of Gaithersburg presented Environmental Awards to individuals and organizations demonstrating outstanding environmental stewardship in the Gaithersburg community, with the goal of inspiring others to pursue similar efforts.
