Creating sustainable communities requires rethinking our built environment. Green infrastructure offers ecological alternatives.
Permeable pavements allow rainwater to soak into the ground instead of causing runoff pollution. Bioswales filter stormwater naturally.
Green roofs provide insulation and reduce stormwater runoff. Rooftop gardens yield food crops and provide habitat.
Parks, greenways and conserved open spaces enable recreation while protecting ecosystems and wildlife corridors.
Rain gardens and constructed wetlands utilize native plants to absorb and filter rainwater runoff.
Charging stations and dedicated lanes support electric vehicle adoption. Bike lanes and walking paths promote active transport.
Smart grids and microgrids optimize renewable energy distribution. Community solar projects increase access.
Composting, recycling and waste-to-energy facilities divert waste from landfills. Curbside food scrap collection reduces methane.
Sustainable infrastructure creates healthier, resilient communities by working with nature. Investing in our shared habitat protects it for future generations.
