Vancouver has set a monumental challenge:
to be the greenest city in the world by 2020.
We are going to use less, we are going to live better.

By sparking a global competition for the title of Greenest City, we hope not only to inspire our own citizens, but also to challenge cities around the world to join our efforts.

Vancouver has adopted a set of bold and inspiring goals for the long term. They will require harnessing our city's greatest resources—people, businesses, organizations, schools, and institutions. We won't get to perfection by 2020, but we'll start on the path to global green leadership.

We invite you to be a part of this historic transformation. Help us find the solutions to creating a prosperous and sustainable economy, a healthier planet, and happier people. What would you do to make Vancouver the greenest city in the world? Among all of the great green ideas out there, which would you pursue first? Help us prioritize between blue-sky visions and immediate opportunities. Give us your pet ideas and your audacious possibilities.

Please provide your input and vote on the ideas that you think will work best before October 7, 2010.
