Many of our daily activities such as using electricity, driving a car, and disposing of waste create greenhouse gas emissions and contribute to climate change. The first step towards determining how to reduce our emissions is to create an inventory. Join us as we share the results of Princeton's inventory and discuss actions that can reduce our impact.
In 2009, Princeton Council adopted the Sustainable Princeton Community Plan. The plan was a result of a community-wide effort to address our environmental impact.
Reduction of food waste is a major strategy for reducing our nation’s carbon footprint. The production, processing, transportation of food and the decomposition of food waste in our landfills result in significant greenhouse gas emissions.

Even better show up at 2pm every Saturday in July when Sustainable Princeton will have volunteers stationed to tell you more about renewable energy and answer your questions.
Of the 300,000 people across the globe who marched in support of our planet this past Saturday, 500 were our own community members: Princeton's Walk for Our World's Green Future was a huge success! It was so great to see such a wide range of people, both young and old, marching together in recognition of an intergenerational challenge.
Date & Time: Saturday, April 29th 9:30 am.
The Walk for Our World's Green Future (WOW) is a community-wide opportunity for those concerned about climate change and passionate about defending our environment to unite in support of these concerns by walking together through Princeton. WOW is intended to be a family-friendly event that embraces positive messaging and encourages proactive approaches to reducing our joint climate impact. WOW is being held on the same date as the national Climate March in Washington D.C.
