Santa Monica Sustainable City           

The Sustainable City Plan: many pieces, one plan.  Where do you fit in?

 In 1994 Santa Monica's City Council originally adopted the Sustainable City Program to begin addressing the issues relating to sustainability. The Sustainable City Plan adopted by the city council in February 2003 includes goals for the city government and all sectors of the community, to conserve and enhance our local resources, safeguard human health and the environment, maintain a healthy and diverse economy, and improve the livability and quality of life for all community members in Santa Monica
