Fairfax County's commitment to environmental stewardship is demonstrated by policies, programs, and projects that lower greenhouse gas emissions associated with its operations.

These efforts include reducing electricity and natural gas used in county buildings and operations. Decreasing overall energy use not only provides wide-ranging environmental benefits, it also provides fiscal benefits to the county and its residents through utility cost avoidance.

Fairfax Employees for Environmental Excellence (FEEE) is Fairfax County’s employee green team. They inspire and empower staff to take action to minimize the environmental impact of county operations, particularly in the areas of waste management and recycling, energy efficiency and conservation, and emissions reduction.
