Sustainable Strategies

The purpose of the strategy options matrix is to provide a broad list of best management practices that encompass several elements of sustainability, including: energy, health, land use, transportation, waste, and water.  This list is not all inclusive and is subject to improvements and alterations.

Prospective signatories should use the strategy options to gauge environmental performance and then use this baseline to strive for superior results.

Superior environmental performance may be achieved when municipalities use the strategy options to develop a sustainability plan that reduces their overall negative impact on the environment.
