Making composting easier for people living in the Basin through organic waste diversion and curbside compost pick up.
This is just the start of what’s possible when we come together with a shared vision of sustainability. Together we are making a difference.
Energy Efficiency
Together we’re moving towards a more energy-efficient future in the Basin. Here’s a look at some of the ways we’re making positive changes together:
- Energizing non-profits with upgrades like insulation, LED lighting and energy-efficient heat pumps. These upgrades are not just saving energy but saving money too.
- Enriching communities by creating greener spaces for everyone to enjoy. From community halls to local parks, these energy-efficient upgrades not only reduce the environmental footprint but also enhance the quality of life for all Basin residents.
