Mission: Enhance the viability of West Palm Beach as a model of a healthy, equitable, environmentally progressive, resilient, and ecologically sustainable community.

 

The City of West Palm Beach has been committed to sustainability targeting climate change for over a decade. We were one of the first cities in the State of Florida to have a dedicated office addressing climate change, sustainability and resiliency issues. The Office of Sustainability collaborates with various city agencies, nonprofit organizations, businesses and private citizens, among other partners, to enhance the viability of the municipality as a model of healthy, equitable, environmentally progressive, resilient and ecologically sustainable, urban living.  We are committed to continue to evolve to meet our City’s / region’s environmental challenges focused on exceeding our community’s expectations.

Always throwing away food scraps? The Office of Sustainability is partnering with Let it Rot for a live, virtual webinar to learn how to compost food waste! Let it Rot is a small worm farm and composting service in Palm Beach County that works with individual residents and small businesses to divert organic (will decompose) wastes from the landfill and instead composts it. By measuring and tracking how much weight in trash is collected on their weekly trash routes, they are able to prevent THOUSANDS of pounds of methane and carbon dioxide.
