Bloomington is building a more sustainable future by taking action where it matters most: protecting the environment while improving quality of life for residents. The City’s second annual sustainability report highlights progress made in 2025 to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, improve water quality, protect natural resources and reduce waste.
Over the past year, Bloomington expanded energy efficiency programs, added electric vehicles to its fleet, planted trees, restored native prairie, conserved water and strengthened recycling and organics efforts. Sustainability worked with community partners and across City departments, partnering with Public Health, the Housing and Redevelopment Authority and Equity, Inclusion and Workplace Culture, to ensure environmental progress supports community health, affordability and equity.
These efforts earned state and national recognition, including GreenStep Cities awards and honors for resident engagement and innovative energy programs. While there is more work ahead, the report shows momentum toward a healthier, more resilient community.
