Living Green
NashVitality celebrates our green city. It's a symbol of the
community's dedication to create an environmentally sustainable
place to live, work, visit and play.
A green city is a healthy city. Trees and parks help keep our air
and water clean. Alternate transportation and clean energy sources
help conserve natural resources and minimize air pollution. Whether
improving our homes for energy efficiency, expanding parks and
greenways, recycling, or planting trees and gardens, Nashville is
protecting its resources and fostering a healthy, active and
environmentally conscious lifestyle.
