Recycle, Reduce, Reuse  

Juneau’s numerous green initiatives are testament to the City’s strong sustainability ethic. For example, the Pubic Works department asks Juneauns to “Remember - Everything that you and your family do to: Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, Repair Rethink, and Reject is creating and preserving a better environment for ourselves, our children, and for the future generations."

Transportation

Juneau’s Capital Transit Program has made it easier than ever to Bike and Ride to work or play. With bicycle racks on the bus you can bike and ride to and from work. Riding pubic transit is one of the best ways to reduce your carbon footprint. According to WorldWatch Institute, a short, four-mile round trip by bicycle keeps about 15 pounds of pollutants out of the air we breathe.
