Office of Sustainability
Welcome to Tulsa's Office of Sustainability/BeGreen Tulsa!
On March 3, 2010, Mayor Dewey Bartlett Jr. signed into existence
a new City of Tulsa Department, the Office of Sustainability.
Bartlett named Brett Fidler as director of the new department.
Fidler had been serving since November 2008 as the Mayor's Special
Advisor on Sustainability, appointed by then-Mayor Kathy
Taylor.
The City of Tulsa's Office of Sustainability,
aka BeGreenTulsa.com, is a resource point for businesses and
individuals seeking ways to be more energy efficient and
environmentally aware.
As citizens, we all share in the responsibility to lessen our
impact on the environment, and to save tax dollars by making sure
local government is as energy efficient as possible.
Being sustainable and "green" is about more than recycling or
saving energy. It is about creating a vibrant economy that improves
our quality of life. Ultimately, it is about a Tulsa that we can
hand to the next generation a little better than when we found
it.
Together, let's BeGreen!
