CONNECT WITH City of Philadelphia, PA
The city of Philadelphia implemented the Mayor’s Offices of Sustainability in 2008 after Mayor Michael A. Nutter took office. Nutter promised to help make Philadelphia the number one greenest city in the country, and the city works on several initiatives to reach their goal. Some of their initiatives include creating and using greener energy resources, making recycling a higher priority, enabling more local foods services, and using solar energy to help reduce the carbon emissions and fuel used within the city limits. The city of Philadelphia is consistently tracking their carbon footprint and working to find ways to cut it.
