The City of Menlo Park has an aggressive Climate Action Plan in place which is focused on reducing greenhouse gas emissions. The Sustainability Division manages recycling and garbage services, water pollution prevention, energy conservation, creek protection, and other environmental issues. The programs promote sustainable environmental practices and policies citywide and within city-owned facilities, as well as open space areas. The division supports the Environmental Quality Commission, which offers residents many resources from free compost to several recycling services, water conservation rebates, and sustainable garden guidelines to name a few.
