'Green' Tax Credits and Incentives Are Widely Available, Say Venable Experts.
Know What's There and How to Take Advantage.

ARLINGTON, Va., Aug. 27 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Between Lamborghini
developing a hybrid and the proliferation of "green" marketing, there can be
no doubt that green is going mainstream.  Congress is trying its best to
encourage the green vision by enacting (and expanding) tax incentives designed
to develop and use renewable and sustainable resources.  How companies can
obtain the benefit of the incentives will be outlined in "Tax Incentives for
the 'Green' Industry" -- a September 10 webinar at 12:30 p.m., hosted by BNA
Tax and Accounting and presented by members of Venable LLP.
