Some of the major accomplishments that helped Goleta achieve this recognition include launching the Plastic Free Goleta initiative to reduce single-use plastics, installing solar panels at City Hall to power the building with renewable energy, utilizing best practices for energy efficiency in facilities, having an active employee transportation demand program, and implementing the Creek and Watershed Management Plan.
Sustainability Manager Dana Murray, shared that, “the Green Business Program offers local businesses the opportunity to save water, electricity, money, and the environment! We are proud to achieve Innovator-level certification for City Hall, and look forward to furthering energy efficiency, water conservation, renewable energy, and waste reduction at other facilities in the City.”
We are proud of all the work that goes into making our Goleta a cleaner, greener city. You can help by taking action and being part of the City’s new Go Green Goleta campaign. Our tomorrow is today! Find out how you can help at www.GoGreenGoleta.org.
