Our Programs

The environmental programs delivered by Green Communities members focus on the actions we can take today in our own lives - in our homes, our businesses, our communities - to begin the transition to a sustainable future. Our growing menu of programs address every dimension of environmental concern. They mobilize personal and community action to:

reduce the energy we use to heat our houses
curb water consumption for cleaning and yard care
lower the damaging environmental impacts of personal transportation
prevent contamination of air, soil, and ground and surface waters
minimize the waste of resources resulting from consumption patterns in a modern industrial society
maximize biological diversity and ecological functions in a human-dominated environment

For more about members' programs see our member contact list, including local website links.
