In a recent meeting, the Tulsa Planning Office emphasized the critical role of community engagement in protecting local water resources. Officials highlighted that every individual action contributes to the overall health of the city’s streams and wildlife. They encouraged residents to take part in initiatives aimed at safeguarding water quality, noting that every yard and neighborhood presents an opportunity for positive impact.

To enhance communication with citizens, the Planning Office is expanding its outreach efforts. Residents can now follow meetings live on Facebook and subscribe to a customizable email newsletter through the office's website. The goal is to involve a broader segment of the community, particularly those who have not previously engaged in planning activities. By fostering connections with diverse groups, officials believe they can better address the needs of Tulsa and create effective strategies for sustainable development.

The meeting also featured a light-hearted segment, introducing a playful competition dubbed the \"top recycling play of the day,\" showcasing Team Johnson's efforts against the challenge of recycling glass. This initiative reflects the city's commitment to environmental stewardship and community participation in sustainability efforts.
