Welcome to AMWA's New Green Projects Blog

It’s a new year and “going green” is hotter than ever. At AMWA’s climate change committee meeting in New Orleans, we talked about launching a “green blog” to share with each other and showcase with the public the initiatives of AMWA members to become more sustainable: by reducing greenhouse gases, using alternative energy sources and constructing green infrastructure. This is AMWA’s first blog and its contents will be another example of how our member agencies are leaders in water.

The Green Projects Blog will rely on you, AMWA's member utilities, to submit the latest examples of your sustainable green projects and activities. Sharing these stories will highlight your successes, serve as examples that will help other water systems implement their own sustainability efforts, and keep the blog current with the latest green thinking at drinking water utilities.

AMWA’s members are leaders in water. So go ahead, brag a little. Let us know how you’re leading in this area. Email your utility's story to greenprojectsblog@amwa.net.
