  Ms. PETTERSEN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the City of 
Lakewood, Colorado, for its induction into the All-America City Hall of 
Fame for its Sustainable Neighborhoods Program.
  Lakewood's Sustainable Neighborhoods program has brought residents 
together to promote water conservation, address food access issues, and 
reduce waste and neighborhood emissions. This program has served as a 
model for neighborhoods nationwide, empowering residents and their 
communities to adopt more sustainable lifestyles and reduce their 
ecological footprint.
  The All-America City award from the National Civic League recognizes 
outstanding communities that leverage civic engagement, collaboration, 
inclusiveness, and innovation to address local issues. It is because of 
the collective efforts of communities like the City of Lakewood that we 
can hope for a greener future.
  On behalf of the people of Colorado's Seventh Congressional District, 
it is my honor to thank the City of Lakewood for its hard work and 
dedication to sustainability in our community.
