Education & Awareness
Sustainability Resources
Access to information is critical to support citizen action.
Convenient, accessible, easy to use, and understandable information about how to live more healthy and economical lives enables people to make behavior changes to support sustainability. Trusted locations such as libraries, community centers, bus stops, local stores and restaurants, markets, buses, metro and light rail cars, and cabs as “go to” places will effectively disseminate information to every neighborhood and socio-economic group. Here are four strategies to help:
- Develop this website as an interactive resource from Baltimore Office of Sustainability
- Create a Green Pages guide on local resources
- Use existing community centers to distribute sustainability information
- Support innovative community resources (like those below) on how to live sustainably
