Ann Arbor’s built and natural environment sustains us—it is the air we breathe, the water we drink, and the land we inhabit. Our environment consists of a collection of interconnected systems that define Ann Arbor. These local systems are embedded in regional, even global processes, expanding the impact of community activities such as energy consumption or recycling beyond city boundaries.
The City’s State of Our Environment Report is designed as a citizen's reference tool on environmental issues and as an atlas of the management strategies underway for the conservation and protection of our environment.
The newest version of the report is organized around ten Environmental Goals developed by the Environmental Commission and adopted by City Council in 2007.
