Every day, the residents and government of Stamford take large and small steps to make the city a greener place in which to live, work and play.
These efforts help clean our air, promote alternative energy, increase our parkland. Together, we are minimizing our demands on the environment and our discharges to it.
And we are turning Stamford into a sustainable city, ready to meet the environmental needs of present and future generations.

The City of Stamford is resolute in its commitment to environmental protection. We have set high goals for our environmental stewardship and are taking bold action to ensure we consistently exceed them. We are proud of our achievements to date and know that the steps our city has taken to reduce our impact on the environment will serve as an example to communities across the country.
Preserving Stamford's air, land and water quality is an ongoing and essential mission -- and one in which I fervently believe. This website has a wealth of information on ways we can all better preserve our fragile environment. I invite you to visit often and stay informed on our progress. Together, we can make a significant difference and pass along a cleaner, greener and healthier environment to our children.
