Household Actions

How can you bring climate action to your own home?

Join your neighbors in climate action:

Every day, Milwaukians are doing our part in climate action by being more mindful about the food and goods we buy, making our homes more energy efficient, and walking or riding transit instead of driving. We invite you to join the effort and be a part of something bigger. If we all commit to change, we can show that towns like ours can be climate action leaders.
