Blacks in Green is a sustainability network in Chicago focused on environmental justice and green living.

Blacks in Green is a national network based in Chicago that aims to reduce America's racial wealth gap through sustainable technologies and environmental justice initiatives. The organization operates through its Sustainable Square Mile project, which has resulted in the planting and maintenance of three public gardens throughout the city, including a vibrant garden located just off East 61st Street in the West Woodlawn neighborhood. In addition to these gardens, the group has planted over 400 trees in West Woodlawn and is involved in renovating the childhood house of Emmett Till. Duane Jarrett, a chief gardening officer for the network, describes their work as a multifaceted attempt to address generational inequities, heavy pollution, and a lack of tree canopy in neglected communities. Their efforts focus on establishing local energy independence through innovative approaches such as solar, wind, and geothermal energy, including a pilot program for geothermal heat in West Woodlawn. While the organization has seen an increase in volunteers from the U-High community, some initiatives face temporary delays due to federal policy changes. Blacks in Green continues to work alongside local advocates to shape Chicago's neighborhoods into greener, more equitable spaces.
