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.

Kiss the Ground Live Q&A

- Introduction: Join us on Zoom!
You might not think much about the soil under your feet. It’s just dirt, right? Soil is actually an essential foundation for all life on earth!
Earth’s healthy soil is rapidly disappearing. This is impacting our food supply, ecosystems, and air. It is also speeding up changes to our climate.
Here’s the good news! We can all work together to restore soil’s health, and in doing so, help slow changes to our climate.
Join the City of West Palm Beach Office of Sustainability and Mandel Public Library for a special Live Q&A with Bedner's Farm Fresh Market and the National Center for Appropriate Technology (NCAT), a national non-profit that hosts the ATTRA – Sustainable Agriculture Project. Learn all about the importance of soil health and local sustainable agriculture practices!
