Our Green Way Forward

Rock City Gardens: Doing our part to find our world's Green Way Forward.

With a multfaceted focus, Rock City Gardens commits to the pursuit of a holistic approach to sustainability. Our Green Way Forward orients our company toward four ongoing objectives:

The Fundamentals

• We work to reduce our energy use, water use, and waste creation by applying the profound yet basic fundamental ideas of conservation, the 3 Rs (reduce, reuse, recycle). Here are a few of our latest achievements:
  • In 2009, See Rock City, Inc. reduced our water consumption by 19%
  • In 2009, See Rock City, Inc. reduced our energy consumption by 5.2%
  • In 2009, See Rock City, Inc. doubled the recycling effort in working with Orange Grove. 
    

Cultivation of Our Local Place

• From land conservation efforts to the utilization of local, creative talent, we believe that intentionally investing in our shared place is foundational to any holistic sustainability effort. Explore the world of some of our friends and just a few of the assets that Greater Chattanooga offers. Rock City Gardens is proud to have worked with these organizations and individuals:
  

Education

• We educate people on the importance of our natural and historic environment. Through internal training, our partners understand the importance of sustainability at work and at home. Externally, we attempt to educate our guests on what Rock City does to protect our world and how guests can help.
  

Best Practices

• At the core of our Green Way Forward effort, lies the commitment to developing a way of business, a set of Best Practices that creates a culture of health and vibrancy relative to all things, particularly the environment in which we work and live.
  

Or course, we don't know it all, and we're not perfect. So, if you have an idea that will help Rock City find its Green Way Forward, we'd love to hear from you: greenteam@seerockcity.com.

We hope you will come and See Rock City!
