Orange TV

The good people from Orange TV and Vision TV cover the happenings at Green Cities Florida. The story focuses on flipping the switch on the solar array, Orange County taking the lead on environmentalism, and what Senator Constantine calls ‘a green revolution”.  The Orange County Convention Center boasts many green advances such as recycling, low flow faucets and reclaimed water for irrigation. The new solar array provides the energy equivalent of powering 100 houses. Check out the video for more information on all of the green happenings at the Orange County Convention Center.
