Imagine Individuals, Businesses and Government working together to create a 9th District of:

Green spaces for people to connect with nature and each other
Green options for transportation, and
Green thinking that promotes the conservation of resources and our small neighborhood feel.

Air

The quality of our air is something that affects us every day. As we work to increase "green thinking that promotes the conservation of resources," air is often one of things we overlook.

Energy

Energy use - lighting, appliances, heating, cooling - all adds up and presents an amazing opportunity for conservation of resources.

Food & Soil

When we talk about food and soil, we’re talking about growing things and what we eat. As we work to "promote the conservation of resources," we know that what we eat has a huge impact on those resources.

Transportation

We hope that our 9th District has green options for transportation, and we know that lots of people believe that this can be one of the most difficult things to do – not so. Going green in transportation can be fun and easy.

Waste & Recycling

9th District Goal: Create a universal access system for recycling and repurposing in the 9th District, to reduce the overall waste output of the District.

Water

As the Green Triangle works to increase "green thinking that promotes the conservation of resources," water is one of the areas where each of us can have a huge impact.
