1. What does sustainability mean to GrowNYC?<\/strong><\/h5>\n

Sustainability means creating a New York City that will be livable for generations. More green space, recycling, composting, eating locally, water conservation. We provide access to a robust network of sustainability programs, tools, and services that empower all New Yorkers to be active participants and leaders in the fight against climate change. We envision a New York City where equitable access to resources and opportunities to live a greener, more sustainable life is the standard.<\/p>\n
