Research has shown that cities and communities that actively protect their environment have:

  • Higher rates of job growth;
  • Fairer taxes;
  • Lower energy costs;
  • Better than average public health;
  • A more equitable distribution of wealth;
  • Greater democratic participation; and
  • An overall better quality of life.

The disconnection that has long existed between financial prosperity and environmental activism is being challenged by cities all across the country. These urban communities have come to see that economic viability—in the form of energy savings, new jobs and preventative healthcare—is incontrovertibly linked to how we treat and utilize the environment.

D.C. Greenworks offers two unique community programs that serve and benefit the D.C. community in a number of ways. By directing our efforts to several distinct demographics, DCG has created an inclusive, multidimensional system that taps into the rich resources, potential, and needs of the D.C. community—and the neighborhoods we serve.
