Environmental Action

As climate change becomes a more pressing concern, it is important for municipalities to take action and put measures in place to preserve our environment. Our goal is to protect Millet's beautiful prairie landscape for future generations.

Communities in Bloom judges environmental action by looking at a community's plans and policies as they pertain to environmental stewardship. This can include everything from waste diversion and water conservation programs to the development of sustainable green spaces.

Environmental initiatives carried out by Millet over the years include: summer water rationing and the use of rain barrels; the use of natural pesticides; and planting pollinator-friendly flowers to encourage biodiversity. Also, by beautifying and promoting our natural spaces, we encourage Millet’s citizens to become invested in our environment's integrity.
