environmental COMMITTEE
Overview & Mission
We work with our neighbors to promote eco-friendly options in our area – such as encouraging and facilitating recycling and reuse, working to limit excess and unnecessary paper usage, promoting environmentally safe gardening and pest control techniques, and increasing the use of low-emissions transportation opportunities. We also promote cleaner air and water in our neighborhood, as well as the use of green building products and green energy technologies in our neighborhood.
SAVE YOUR ASH
Ash trees make up 30% of North Center’s tree canopy and are under constant threat from a deadly pest known as the Emerald Ash Borer (EAB), an invasive species that has decimated ash trees across 35 states.
Join us in raising funds to treat our ash trees, preserve our urban canopy and prevent further economic and environmental costs.
the sustainability Market
The Sustainability Market is a yearly event, featuring more than 20 eco-minded retailers, artists and organizations focused on supporting sustainable lifestyles and enacting sound environmental policy.
The event is organized and co-hosted by Reduce Waste Chicago, formerly the NNA Recycling Pop-Up which is now a
citywide program fiscally sponsored by NCNA.
