Let's get started!
First, what you can do right now
Taking small steps is a great way to start. We've got the tools you need to begin.
Did you know?
Energy used in buildings contributes 26% of our greenhouse gas emissions.
Improving energy efficiency saves money. Eliminating gas from our buildings makes indoor air healthier and makes outdoor air much healthier, too. Win-win, right?
Did you know?
Transportation contributes about 41% of our greenhouse gas emissions.
Zero Emission Transportation isn't just electric vehicles! It's all the ways we get around, including our feet, bicycles, and public transportation.
Did you know?
Food waste is the #3 contributor of greenhouse gas emissions globally.
Locally, what's wasted in the fields, grocery store dumpsters, and the back of our refrigerators is not just a waste of food and money, but also spews methane gas.
