ORGANICS RECYCLING
We are working to build Detroit's soil by advocating for development of a diverse scale city-wide composting system that reclaims, diverts and repurposes food waste, yard waste, paper waste, and other compostables. We envision using those "resources" to produce compost locally, and for using compost to create sustainable soil-based solutions to meet municipal and citizen's needs, and address environmental issues. Detroiters' need good compost-enhanced soil for growing healthy local food; for landscaping our parks, open spaces and new development; for managing storm water (green infrastructure), controlling erosion and run-offs; for back-filling demolition sites; for planting trees; for cleaning our air.

BECOME A CARBON NEUTRAL CITY
Reducing carbon emissions through energy efficiency building improvements, in alignment with the targets set forth in the United Nations Climate Change Paris Agreement.
SAVE MILLIONS IN ENERGY COSTS
By tracking the energy use in Detroit buildings, owners and tenants have the information they need to become more energy efficient, saving money on utilities, reducing operating costs, and the pollution that threatens our air and climate.
