Toolkit for a more sustainable Des Moines
We are working on a Sustainable Neighborhood Toolkit for Des Moines where we highlight ideas and solutions we can use in our neighborhoods to be more sustainable. Below you’ll see our focus areas with resources available or potential resources.
If you have a challenge you're facing in your neighborhood around sustainability, drop us a line. We'd love to partner with you or bring resources to make your idea into a solution in the toolkit. If you are interested in helping us develop resources around any focus area, please email us at info@urbanambassadors.org.
