How you can help make the City greener

The City can do a lot to ensure Vancouver achieves our Greenest City goals and targets, but there are also limits to Council's influence.

That is why we need strong and effective partnerships with all of the organizations in Vancouver that have a key role to play in greening the city.

This includes other levels of government, non-profit organizations, businesses, and social enterprises.

But most importantly, it will involve the participation of every Vancouver resident - including you.
