Do you love clean water, clear air and building a strong community? So do we. Join us.
We’re already seeing the impacts of a changing climate in Boise. Summers are getting hotter, snowfall is changing, and wildfire skies are becoming the new norm. But there’s good news. It’s easy to take climate action, and together, we can create big change. Whether you’re ready to start with everyday habits, step it up with bigger changes, or lead the way in your community, this is your place to get inspired and get involved.
Boise is our home. Let’s keep it cool, healthy and thriving.
Small steps, big impact. Let’s start where you are.
Are you a college student looking to limit your food waste, a homeowner with a green thumb, or a renter trying to sort out how to lower your energy use? Wherever you are, and whatever your interests may be, we’ll help you narrow down what actions to take with the greatest impact.
Climate action in Boise works best when we do it together. From neighborhood events to community challenges, there are so many ways to jump in. Explore the upcoming events below and visit The WaterShed, Boise’s Climate and Water Science Center, to find more community events, programs and activities for all ages.
We launch new challenges throughout the year tied to our climate action priorities. Join your neighbors in friendly competitions, unlock local incentives and see how small steps add up to big impact for our city. Check back here throughout the year to find new challenges and rewards for winter, spring, summer and fall.
Winter is the best time to start thinking about your spring gardening plans, and we’re making it easy for you to create a beautiful, water-wise garden this year.
