Dallas: Earth Day – Every Day!

Dallas is the vibrant, urban center of the North Texas region. Dallas grew with the oil and cotton industries to become a major economic center with advanced banking, telecommunications and technology, and research industries. Dallas’s success is built by bold leadership of innovative ideas. Big things happen here! Nevertheless Dallas faces many challenges. Severe weather events, disease outbreaks, and economic disparity have tested Dallas’ mettle. These experiences and conditions have reinforced the City’s need to ensure regional systems such as economic development, public health, and transportation are crosscutting and collaboratively working to create a more resilient Dallas.

The City of Dallas recognizes that to promote a vibrant, healthy future, it must actively balance economic needs, environmental stewardship and social equity. Dallas needs a robust and thriving economy to ensure families are self-sufficient, and it must protect the cultural and social identities that are the fabric of community. 

But to do this, Dallas must protect the environment to ensure that all can enjoy the prosperity and access the resources shared today for generations to come. To be successful protecting the environment, a multi-faceted approach is required: reduce the impact from what is used, use only what is needed, and replenish resources faster than they are used.
