Help Assess Your Own Neighborhood and Complete a Green Neighborhood Scorecard

Submittal Deadline: Wednesday, August 31st

The 2011 Green Neighborhood Scorecard is now ready for download or can be filled out online. The accompanying Resource Guide provides helpful advice and tips concerning how to assess neighborhood environmental and sustainability factors, where improvements might be made, and how to begin that process.

Neighborhoods that complete and submit the Scorecard will help the Green Neighborhood Council do the following:
• Assess current livability and environmental sustainability of Omaha neighborhoods
• Determine resources needed by Omaha neighborhoods to achieve greater livability and sustainability
• Develop practical projects to support the creation and advancement of green neighborhoods
• Establish a baseline to help you measure your neighborhood’s environmental progress.
Neighborhoods with high scores will be announced at the Green Home Tour 2011 on Saturday, October 15th, and prizes for 1st, 2nd and 3rd place winners will be awarded: $300, $250, and $200, respectively.
