The Center for Neighborhoods hosted a Neighborhood Environmental Sustainability Conference on January 26, 2002, to connect Minneapolis and St. Paul neighborhoods to resources and information on how to impact these and other environmental issues. A workshop track was offered on Solid and Toxic Waste Reduction, in addition to other environmental issues. Each workshop featured neighborhood case studies that depict successful project ideas, and information by environmental resource groups and funders that are available to support neighborhood efforts. Participants also received resource packets containing information, contacts and guidelines for how to move forward with their own projects. The event was free and open to the public.

Founded in 1994, the Center for Neighborhoods is an organization that connects citizens, neighborhoods and community groups, allied organizations and government officials to forge partnerships for progress.
