Meet Greenie Gonzales

Meet Greenie Gonzales

Greenie Gonzales lives in the city along with loads of family and friends. Greenie is an advocate for the City’s Climate Action and Resiliency Plan, our ecosystem, and the air we breathe. He shares tips and advice on how you can make life better for you, your family, and your friends for years to come.

Here’s a message from Greenie himself! “I hate to be a Debbie Downer, but I’m a little bit worried! You see, a lot of trash is making a mess of my home at 1234 Waterway Way and I need your help to get my house back in order. Let’s be the best neighbors we can be! It’s the best way to ensure we live peacefully together. You see, my family and my friends contribute a lot to the environment and ecosystem, and we’d like to keep helping the community we live in. So follow along with me, so we can make Gonzales the best it can be while living in harmony with each other!”

Strategies for Transportation Electrification in Gonzales 

Greenie loves to share the good news about the steps that the City of Gonzales is taking to live a cleaner future. Did you know that the City of Gonzales is a partner for Community-Based Transportation Electrification with the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)? This partnership included working with each community (only two chosen, with Gonzales as one) to evaluate their assets and needs, engage with local residents and decision-makers at a planning workshop, facilitate conversations about local needs and goals, and develop a community-driven action plan supported by a network of partners who can help with implementation. Read more about the partnership and strategy here.
