In many ways, this ARTICLE sums up the entire mission of Go Green Northbrook. Here is an excerpt:
“Sustainable communities share a common purpose: places where people thrive to enjoy good health and create a high quality of life.
A sustainable community reflects the interdependence of economic, environmental, and social issues by acknowledging that regions, cities, towns and rural lands must continue into the future without diminishing the land, water, air, natural and cultural resources that support them.
Housing, transportation and resource conservation are managed in ways that retain the economic, ecological and scenic values of the environment.
And they are communities where the consumption of fossil fuels, emissions of greenhouse gases, water resources and pollution are minimized.”
