Sustainability isn’t just a buzzword—it’s a way of life. And in Lake Nona, we believe that everyday choices can make a big impact. Whether you’re running errands, spending time at home or simply connecting with neighbors, there are so many ways to live a little greener and love our planet a little more.
Here are five simple (but powerful!) ways to embrace sustainability right here in our community:
- Shop Local
Fresh produce. Friendly faces. Smaller carbon footprints.
When you shop at our Lake Nona Farmers Market, you’re doing more than filling your basket—you’re investing in local livelihood, reducing long-haul transportation and enjoying food that’s picked at peak freshness. Every fruit and veggie you choose is a small win for the planet (and your plate). - Ride Smart with Move Nona + Bird
Eco-friendly, driverless—and now with two wheels, too.
Lake Nona’s autonomous shuttle service, Move Nona, offers a forward-thinking way to get around without the emissions. And for those shorter trips? Bird e-bikes and scooters are a fun, low-impact option that gets you where you’re going—fast. Whether you’re headed to Town Center or just cruising the neighborhood, these zero-emissions options help reduce traffic and support our greener mobility mission. - Share Sustainable Tips with Neighbors
Sustainability is contagious in the best way!
Got a great composting tip? Found an eco-friendly product you love? Share it! Lake Nona thrives on connection, and when we swap ideas with neighbors, we create a ripple effect of small changes that lead to big results. Plus, it’s a great way to spark conversations and build relationships with the people around you. - Practice Water Conservation
A little mindfulness goes a long way.
There are more ways to conserve H20 than you might think. Try planting native Florida greenery that thrives in our climate (less watering required!), fix leaky faucets promptly and consider adding aerators to your taps. Even turning off the water while brushing your teeth can save gallons over time. Every drop counts—seriously! - Be Smart at Home
Take advantage of recent upgrades in home energy efficiency you don’t have to think twice about.
Smart home tech makes it easier than ever to reduce your environmental impact. Energy-efficient appliances, smart thermostats and LED lighting all help cut down on utility costs while reducing energy use. It’s modern, minimal effort and maximally rewarding.
There you have it. Lake Nona is proof that sustainability and innovation go hand-in-hand.
Whether you’re a seasoned eco-warrior or just starting to make greener choices, every small step makes a difference.
Together, we’re creating a cleaner, smarter and more sustainable future—one everyday habit at a time. We can do this!
