SUSTAINABLE HOUSEHOLDS
Urban Green Lab’s Households Division works closely with community members, nonprofit organizations, neighborhood associations, faith groups, and more to develop systems of sustainable living education to make sustainability a part of everything we do.
This is accomplished through organizing green teams, conducting personalized trainings, connecting you to resources that help make a difference, and more. Together, we can help make Nashville a more just and sustainable city.
Our Programs
Sustainable in the City
Sustainable in the City is a podcast hosted by Zero Waste Nashville and Urban Green Lab that spotlights Nashville’s sustainability champions and shares personal stories from neighbors, coworkers, and fellow community members about the benefits, barriers, and motivators in their sustainability story. Episodes will be released on the third Tuesday of each month on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you listen to podcasts.
The UGL Volunteers
The UGL Volunteers are Urban Green Lab’s frontline ambassadors working to make Nashville a more sustainable place. On their own time, volunteers connect their friends, families, and neighbors to key educational resources that inspire sustainable choices at home, like saving energy and reducing wasted food.

Households Testimonials
“It makes me happy that there is such a community of inspired people with the goal of making Nashville more sustainable on an individual and community level.”
- Maria Morales, UGL Volunteer
"It was meaningful to attend this [training] because of UGL’s focus on our local community. I am someone who has committed to living more sustainably and advocating for initiatives in my circles, so it is nice to have a local non-profit to connect with and build on these efforts as a larger Nashville community."
- Suzanne Merlino, UGL Volunteer
"I love our planet and my community. I want to make a difference by taking action to live more sustainably."
Luz Soto Leon, UGL Volunteer
