Sustainability
At Neighborhood Alliance, we are committed to creating safe, healthy, and attractive neighborhoods for all.
This means building neighborhoods that will last for future generations! Environmental sustainability is crucial for maintaining the longevity of your neighborhood and our world.
At the end of the day, Earth is everyone’s forever home and we owe it to our neighbors to take care of it. The good news is that there are many ways you and your neighbors can improve the environmental health of your neighborhood. This section will provide you with the knowledge and resources to implement sustainable measures into your community.
When our neighbors and city work in tandem to live more sustainable lifestyles, such as reducing carbon emissions, conserving natural resources, and promoting sustainable practices, we are helping mitigate climate change's effects and protect natural ecosystems.
Even small changes, like planting more native plants, collecting rainwater, or recycling are helping build a community for future generations to enjoy.
