Our 2016 Community Commutes Day campaign was featured in the American Council for an Energy Efficient Economy's report "Reducing Energy Waste through Municipally Led Behavior Change Programs." Community Commutes Day encouraged employees to try public transit, biking, walking, or carpooling to work.

To inspire energy-saving behaviors, local governments engage residents, hold contests, try games

Nearly two-thirds of behavior-based programs for saving energy involve in-person contact with residents, such as home energy audits, according to a new survey of 50 such programs nationwide. As energy efficiency programs increasingly target behavior, local governments are taking diverse approaches.

Our program to encourage and recognize Green & Healthy events and meetings was selected for a National Association of Counties Achievement Award. This is primarily an internal program for employee-planned events or events in county buildings, and we encourage others to use a similar model. Healthy food and physical activity can increase engagement at your meetings, and waste reduction at large events makes a big difference for our environment!
