October gave us a chance to celebrate the city's numerous sustainability initiatives that align with the Columbus Climate Action Plan, which aims to reduce pollution and achieve carbon neutrality by 2050. On the cusp of October, MORPC hosted its annual summit on sustainability bringing together hundreds of people across Central Ohio. To kick off the month, our community came together for Resilient Together: A Sustainability Celebration at the Lincoln Theatre highlighted by 4 GreenSpot Light Award winners. Plus, MORPC wants to hear from you about how Columbus can improve its sustainability efforts. Read on to find out more about the "Leaders Listen" survey.
