Got questions? Ask Pima County’s Green Geek.
Pima County FYI has a monthly column featuring questions and answers on all things green. Our own Green Geek usually gets assistance on answering your questions from the experts in Pima County's Office of Sustainability and Conservation. This month, the Green Geek got an assist from the folks at the Pima County Department of Environmental Quality. We also chose a slightly different format and tackled one topic: commuting in the age of COVID-19.
Send your future questions to fyinewsletter@pima.gov. And look for the column the second Friday of each month.
