There is no question that Bellingham has risen to the global call to action for greener living. Recognized in both the national and international arenas for advancing the concept of sustainability, reduction of greenhouse gases by designing a climate action plan, and for expanding waste reduction efforts, Bellingham has made its mark on the map, and set an example for other cities to implement the same efforts. Going green is a global effort, and Bellingham has risen to the challenge. We have initiated several successful programs here in the city, and have proven that it can be done with proper education, support from the local government and businesses, and a community willing to work in concert with one another.
