The plan has several major goals inlcuding, reducing energy usage in government buildings, decreasing city government fuel consumption, increasing recycling rates throughout the city, and expanding green spaces. Mayor Abramson said the Louisville Metro Government has made progress in the past several years in environmental stewardship, including reducing the city's vehicle fleet, consolidating government facilities, and purchasing more "green-friendly" products and vehicles. The mayor's City of Parks initiative, the largest municipal parks expansion in the country, is also part of the Go Green Louisville effort.
