Building A Greener Community, Together.
Support local sustainability initiatives.
OPPD’s Greener Together Program connects community members and supports local sustainability initiatives for a small monthly contribution. All membership funds collected provide meaningful support to local green projects, making a positive impact for everyone.
Support community environmental conservation projects in your own backyard.
The program has the power to spark diverse community projects like bike paths, composting, tree planting and public park solar projects—and you can be an integral part of the effort for as little as $4.50 a month. We also welcome tax-deductible donations from companies that give back to the community.
