How Green is My Town?

What enables a town to be reslient? It takes strong and intelligent leadership at the top, as well as active and responsible community members that are engaged with current and relevant issues.

Everyone wants to live in a resilient community; a place that rebounds from adversity and stress of all kinds, and becomes stronger than before. 

What enables a town to be reslient? It takes strong and intelligent leadership at the top, as well as active and responsible community members that are engaged with current and relevant issues. It takes metrics that measure economic payback from environmentally – friendly projects. Add to that consistent and effective ways for town/city leadership and community members to work together to improve resiliency. And finally, having established, integrated groups that understand and support sustainability and resileincy from both an environmental and economic perspective, including a local Green Drinks, US Green Building Council chapter, green businesses like home energy auditors and green electricity providers.
