Throughout the year, Sustainable Cleveland 2019 will connect Clevelanders to transportation resources.
This year’s recent kickoff event highlighted options for to create a more walkable, bikeable and transit friendly Northeast Ohio. The event included experts in alternative fuel and electric vehicles. Whether at home, at work or in our community, all can take action to reduce the carbon footprint and energy costs, improve health, reduce air pollution, and create a thriving city. Participation will help Cleveland take important action in sustainable transportation.
Each year since 2009, there has been an annual sustainability summit and since 2011, a Celebration Year devoted to focusing on a particular aspect of sustainability. So far, the City of Cleveland has celebrated the Year of Energy Efficiency (2011); the Year of Local Food (2012); the Year of Advanced, Renewable Energy (2013); the Year of Zero Waste (2014); and, the Year of Clean Water.
