Citizens' Greener Evanston

Citizens’ Greener Evanston (CGE) is a dynamic, community-based, environmental non-profit organization that works to make Evanston, Illinois a more environmentally just, sustainable and resilient community. Since 2008, CGE has collaborated with the City, local businesses, the faith community, residents and others to make Evanston a more sustainable community – environmentally, economically, and socially – and to address climate change by dramatically reducing our greenhouse gas emissions. We are a 501 (c)(3) organization with more than 2,700 members. Through our programs, we offer a comprehensive, multi-initiative approach to addressing environmental challenges. We are focused on fighting climate change, increasing resiliency and helping Evanston to implement its recently adopted Climate Action and Resilience Plan (CARP).
