It's time to take action! In September 2008, Mayor Daley launched the Chicago Climate Action Plan - a comprehensive and detailed strategy to help lower greenhouse gas emissions and address climate change. It builds upon the many efforts the City and its partners have already undertaken to make Chicago the most environmentally friendly city in the nation. Visit www.chicagoclimateaction.org to learn more about the Chicago Climate Action Plan, what you - as a resident or business leader - can do to save money and reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and what the City is doing to protect and preserve the environment.


Be Green. Save Green.

Get started today by taking the $800 Savings Challenge, a checklist of simple, low or no-cost actions that reduce emissions while saving money.
