Plastic isn’t invited to this party! In fact, Truckee’s so serious about reducing waste that the Town recently passed a Single-Use Foodware Ban, meaning ALL single-use products – think styrofoam boxes, plastic bags, napkins, “eco-friendly” bamboo straws, and compostable paper utensils – will no longer be available at Truckee restaurants, food service establishments, coffee shops, bakeries, and bars.
When it comes to protecting Truckee’s beautiful natural environment, preventing litter, and keeping trash out of landfills, choosing to REDUCE WASTE is the way to go.
Here’s what you can do:
Truckee is committed to reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Our town set ambitious emissions reduction and renewable energy goals for the community: 80% reduction in GHG emissions by 2040, 100% renewable electricity by 2030, 100% renewable energy by 2050. Track our progress on Keep Truckee Green’s emissions dashboard.
Here’s what you can do:
Sustainability serves a triple bottom line: environment, community, and economy. When it comes to our local economy, the best way to help is by shopping local with Truckee’s many locally owned and operated businesses. When you shop local, more dollars stay in our community, supporting local residents – business owners and employees – who in turn give back to Truckee’s local non-profits.
Here’s what you can do:
In Truckee, we believe the time is now to make climate-conscious travel decisions. Our forests, rivers, wildlife, snowpack, and the authentic character of our mountain town depend on sustainably-minded travelers who are a part of the solution. By choosing destinations and experiences that advocate for environmental stewardship, invest in community, and support a thriving local economy, you are supporting a Sustainable Truckee.
