Mission Statement

Nature PhotoThe Community Sustainability Council will research, advocate, coordinate, and provide outreach for local measures to:

  • Reduce energy usage and carbon dioxide emissions
  • Identify the costs of implementation and possible funding strategies
  • Monitor the progress and effectiveness of measures adopted by the Greensboro City Council.

The Community Sustainability Council may initiate areas of focus and research, and will also respond to specific requests from City Council. All of this group's activities will be reported directly to City Council for Council’s consideration, providing opportunity for review and comment by the community at-large.

The Community Sustainability Council will seek input from business groups, schools, City staff, environmental groups, and other interested parties throughout Greensboro and Guilford County.

The goal will be to serve City Council by formulating and suggesting strategies to reduce pollutants, reduce energy costs, conserve resources, protect and strengthen the local economy, and save money.
