Reduce contributions to climate change by reducing greenhouse gas emissions and conserving energy.

We encourage Glacier Country communities to reduce their carbon footprint by:

• • Building walkable, bike friendly communities

• • Supporting construction and retrofit of energy efficient buildings and infrastructure

• • Advocating for local, sustainable agriculture

• • Promoting zero-waste by citizens, businesses and institutions

• • Promoting fuel-efficient transportation
