Sustainability

Green is smart. Atlanta can become a leader in environmental sustainability by embracing our natural environment and promoting efficient use of natural resources in city departments, homes and businesses. Our high density areas are ripe for greenroofs. Our recycling program needs to be more expansive and innovative. We can reduce the costs of city services by reexamining our practices. Our quality of life depends on more green-space, better sidewalks and more bicycle lanes. Moreover, green can mean more jobs for residents.
