Sustainable Columbus Recognizing the role a healthy environment plays in contributing to Columbus continuing to be America’s Opportunity City, the City of Columbus established the Sustainable Columbus initiative. This initiative, under the leadership of Columbus Mayor Andrew J. Ginther, focuses on optimizing internal city operations and working with external stakeholders from throughout the community to enhance and promote environmentally friendly policies throughout our community. This website will serve as a one-stop-shop to connect to city programs that benefit our environment.
The purpose of this webpage is to index and link to the city's sustainability programs.
