According to Dean’s executive order of June 19, the Mayor's Green Ribbon Committee on Environmental Sustainability was created to assure that Nashville continues to be a livable city with clean air, clean water, open spaces, transportation infrastructure and an energy use profile necessary to provide a prosperous community for current and future generations.

The Nashville City Paper and the Tennessean reported on the Green Ribbon Committee shortly after its creation. The latter newspaper also listed the composition of the group, which does not include a single Hispanic in the committee of 24.
