Since the 1970's, the City of Portland has been synonymous with one word: green. The city has made a commitment to clean air and water, livable neighborhoods, parks and open spaces, economic development that is sustainable for the environment, sensible transportation and much more.

Portland offers top-notch programs and information to help its residents learn how to reduce water usage and manage stormwater; "green" their homes; use energy more efficiently at home and work; find alternative transportation options and stay safe on the roads. The city also enforces a thorough waste prevention and recycling plan, and offers a wealth of resources for citizens to get involved in community and neighborhood environmentally green projects.
