"Sustainable Tennessee aims to keep Tennessee at the forefront of environmental and economic sustainability.

We meet once a year in August with local sustainability leaders during “Policy and Practice” — a workshop setting in which we identify best policies and practices to advance sustainability in seven categories: Energy, Air, Land, Water, Solid Waste, Public Health and Food Systems. The result of this meeting is a document called “The Agenda and Priorities for a Sustainable Tennessee” that includes the key recommendations from each topic working group. This is published on our website, shared via social media, and available as a hard-copy for elected officials and other stakeholders in Tennessee.​

Business and personal practices that enhance sustainability in TN are emphasized and promoted through the Sustainable Tennessee Program. "....(more)
