What are the benefits to using Path To A Green Home?
Path To A Green Home will save you time, resources, and budget as you make your city more sustainable.
Our Green Community Homeowner Campaign utilizes a turnkey Playbook that guides cities through a comprehensive residential program of Customization, Engagement, and Analysis – resulting in:
Educated and engaged residents
Residents taking and sustaining action
Data for decision making and funding
Imagine if you will, the following environment within your city…
The Green New Norm
The new ‘norm’ is thinking green. From your citizens to your businesses to your staff, everyone considers ‘green’ or builds ‘green’ into their daily lives or business plans – by default without needing to think about it. Your citizens are educated on the need to be more sustainable and they fully support city actions in this area. Your businesses are more sustainable because your citizens shop, eat, and do business with the ‘green’ businesses in the city. The trend has flipped. Instead of 5-10% of your citizens being sustainable in practice, you now have 90-95% of your citizens believing (and doing) sustainability. You have fostered a culture shift!
And, you have the data to prove it. Let’s say that your Mayor is meeting with some of his/her colleagues at a conference – maybe Climate Mayors or C40. How powerful would it be for your Mayor to use actual data in his/her talking points? Instead of stating that you’ve been able to reduce the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from your residential sector, he/she could provide concrete data points like: “we’ve reduced our overall GHG emissions from our residential sector by 28% in the past 12 months with our greatest gains coming from locally sourced food @ 12%, weatherization @ 8%, and waste reduction at 5%.” Data not only allows you to see progress and submit stronger grant proposals, but it provides a completely new level of credibility and appeal.
With the proper plan, resources, and execution, this (or something similar) could be your story.
Our step-by-step, Green Community Homeowner Campaign can be used as a feeder to your Climate Action Planning (CAP) process or to implement your existing CAP goals. It requires little time from your already busy staff.
Let Path to a Green Home help your city educate and engage your residents along this journey to a Green New Norm.
