It’s hardly a secret that the San Joaquin Valley’s air is some of the dirtiest in the United States. One consequence is the high rate of asthma among our children. On a more global scale, we are quickly depleting our source of fossil fuels, our landfills are overflowing, and our natural resources are pushed to the brink.

Now, imagine being able to see the Sierras from the Valley every day, bicycling or walking to work, preserving more open space as well as our Valley’s agricultural heritage. Imagine living in a city that mixes the best of the old with the new.

These are some of the visions of Fresno Green. Fresno Green seeks to combine cutting edge technology with the best common sense practices of the past to develop and implement green and sustainable programs. Fresno Green embraces the heritage of the “City Beautiful Movement” of the early 20th century - progressive urban design, expansive parks and open space, public health and public art programs…Fresno Green moves us toward a new City Beautiful.

The links at the bottom and top of this page identify the City’s five Fresno Green Visions: New City Beautiful, Sierra View 2025, Solar Valley, Green Enterprises and Economic Development, and City a Good Steward. The links will provide further information regarding the on-going efforts in advancing the Fresno Green Visions.

The objective of Fresno Green is clear and unchanging:
Fresno will be a sustainable City by 2025.
