The "2011 Green Governor of the Year" was awarded to Governor Peter Shumlin of Vermont. Vermont is one of 13 states which have voluntarily adopted California’s vehicle emissions standards. Governor Shumlin signed a renewable energy bill into law in 2011 to expand renewable energy and efficiency projects in the state of Vermont. Governor Shumlin also created a ‘Climate Cabinet’ which will function as an advisory body on all matters bearing on climate issues.
