We bring individuals, businesses, and ideas together, shaping a more sustainable city, through community events, trusted resources, and EMMA, the Eco-Map of vetted sustainable businesses across Metro Atlanta.

By connecting people and solutions, we help Atlantans turn awareness into action, and action into lasting change.


EMMATM The Eco-Map of Metro Atlanta

EMMA™ 3.0 is changing how Metro Atlanta connects to sustainability.

Less searching. More impact.


Community Events

Rooted in Community. Growing Change.

Each year, Root Local brings Atlantans together through dynamic community events and tabling opportunities aligned with our six focus areas: fashion, air, water and land, food waste, green buildings and infrastructure, and green transportation. We connect neighbors to environmental allies and local changemakers, creating spaces where ideas spark collaboration. By linking people to practical solutions and meaningful opportunities, we transform awareness into action, and action into lasting impact for our city and beyond.

Help Make It Easier

We understand that with so many options in the sustainability world, it’s hard to know where to start to make a meaningful impact. We are here to make it easier, but we need your help.

Support us in growing EMMA so individuals, communities, organizations, and businesses can connect, find solutions, and embrace environmental consciousness. Together, we can do the right thing for Metro Atlanta and the world.
