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
Hosted by Zero Waste Nashville and Urban Green Lab, Sustainable in the City is a free webinar series featuring presentations and panel discussions with Nashville’s experts in waste and sustainability. Past topics include environmental justice in Nashville, sustainable beverages, the importance of pollinators, and more.
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 Events
Environmental Justice in Nashville
In Nashville and around the country, environmental degradation, pollution, and disasters hit communities of color and low-income communities first, worst, and longest. Environmental justice (EJ) is a concept that can empower all Nashvillians toward having a city that works for all of our needs and empowers Nashville’s most marginalized communities.
