Climate Coach Program

Are you interested in helping Highland Park residents reduce their carbon emissions to help mitigate the effects of climate change?

Have you made upgrades to your home, yard, or lifestyle to reduce your environmental impact?

Consider sharing your expertise as a part of Go Green Highland Park’s new Climate Coach program! Through this program, presented in partnership with the City of Highland Park Sustainability Advisory Group, volunteer Climate Coaches will share their experience and expertise in different areas. This is inspired by a similar program started in Oak Park. Example topics include: electrifying your home, planting native gardens, installing solar energy or heat pumps, purchasing an electric vehicle, insulating drafty homes and more. 

Compost Give-Back

Hidden Creek Aquapark Lot

1220 Fredrickson Place, HP

Saturday, May 10, 9:00 a.m. – 1:00 pm 

Celebrate International Compost Awareness Week with Go Green HP, SWALCO, the City of HP and PDHP. Bring your own buckets and come gather up to 20 gallons of local, nutrient-rich compost, made from our curbside food scraps and yard waste! Add a scoop to your planters and garden beds this spring to boost growth and increase water retention. Shovels will be provided.
No early birds, please. Due to the increased popularity of this event, we are asking folks to adhere to the 20 gallons per household limit this year so everyone is able to benefit from this wonderful soil amendment. Schools, community centers, and houses of worship, with gardens, are welcome to participate.
