GreenEconomyChicago aims to open the policymaking process to Chicagoans by serving as a forum to discuss and develop ideas about building a green economy. This is about more than planting a tree. This is about supporting and creating sustainable jobs in the emerging green economy.

Here's how it works:
You submit an idea that could help to build support for Chicago's transition to a green economy. Maybe it's a targeted tax incentive, or a change in zoning priorities, that will help spur new green business and manufacturing. Or maybe it's a monthly lecture series from leading thinkers in the field. The ideas are endless.
Your peers comment on the idea, and as the idea is refined and generates enthusiasm, it becomes a priority project.
We help you build momentum around priority projects by creating a broader platform to raise awareness -- public events, City Council committee hearings, social-networking opportunities.
As support builds, we will help push the idea into new policies and initiatives.

From idea to policy, GreenEconomyChicago is a platform for citizen-driven policymaking and civic engagement.
