Minneapolis GreenPrint

A Road Map for Environmental Sustainability

The Minneapolis GreenPrint is a map, compass, and guide for sustainable development and ecologically-friendly practices. As a subset of the 25 Minneapolis Sustainability Indicators, which also incorporates considerations of health and vitality, the GreenPrint provides a pragmatic framework for protecting and enhancing our environment based around 11 key environmental indicators. For detailed information on each of these 11 environmental indicators, please see the blue column on the left tool bar of this page.

GreenPrint Annual Reports

An Annual GreenPrint Report is presented to the City Council by Earth Day of each year. The report is developed through the Environmental Coordinating Team and focuses on the previous year’s activities, and progress. Decision-makers and citizens look to this information to measure our performance as well as to determine how we will move forward.
