Green Team
On April 9, 2008, members of Mayor Kathy Taylor's newly
appointed Green Team met for the first time to begin discussion of
how the City of Tulsa and Tulsa residents can work together to help
Tulsa become a Sustainable City.
Team discussion included brainstorming the top "green" tips that
Tulsans can use to make small changes in lifestyle. These small
changes can be very significant over the long term, providing
energy cost savings as well as conserving energy and water. These
tips will be regularly featured on the front page of the
website.
In the coming year, the Team will focus their efforts on both
Internal (within the City of Tulsa) and External (city, county and
state) initiatives that will help to make not only Tulsa but all
Oklahoma communities sustainable.
