Welcome to City Renewed.
We are pleased to share with you the most comprehensive resource guide about Green Living in the DC metropolitan area. Our goal is to provide you with all the information you need to live a happier, healthier and more eco-friendly life in the nation’s capital.
This site was born out of the need to make green living more feasible and practical. We understand the time constraints that people have on their schedules and sometimes making eco-friendly choices in our daily lives requires research and effort. We strive to minimize that effort and provide you with the information and tools to make being green easier.
This site is built and maintained by a community of enthusiasts who want to see a better environment for our future. We invite you to provide your thoughts and feedback about the website. We also welcome article submissions and ideas.
Enjoy.
Be Green!

Rory graduated in 2006 from Davidson College with a degree in Theater. Upon graduating, he ventured into the business arena at McMaster-Carr Supply Company working as an inventory control supervisor. During this time, he developed an understanding of sales strategy, supply chain operations, and inventory control. All the while, he independently fostered his passion for clean energy. In 2008, he left McMaster-Carr and moved to Washington, DC to intern at the American Council on Renewable Energy (ACORE) and Eco-Coach. Currently, he is interning at the Alliance to Save Energy and planning on going to business school in the Fall of 2009.
Bea Trickett
Bea has always been really excited to learn lots of useful hands-on skills & then share them with others– or barter with folks who maybe don’t have the time to learn to grow their own veggies or fix their own houses or bikes or make websites or pickles and jams. Living largely outside the economic system (besides rent, utilities, and cat food!), Bea’s typical week consists of 2 days of paid work, which leaves the rest of the week to throw her time into an array of exciting activities. It becomes a self-perpetuating freeing lifestyle where if you work less & do more for yourself, you need less money and have more time to do more! Her goals for the future focus on becoming an urban farmer producing a marketable amount of organically-grown vegetables in Dc within the next 2 years.
Kenneth Trinh
Kenneth is college student, raised up in Chantilly, Virginia. He has a great passion for the environment, seeks every opportunity possible to promote the green lifestyle.
