What is sustainability?
The decisions that every one of us makes in our day-to-day lives have impacts that reach well beyond the here and now. Sustainability means putting in the effort to consider how our decisions affect the economy, the environment, and each other. It means working together to create a city that offers high quality of life for current residents while ensuring that future residents can also expect high quality of life. This website is intended to be a source of ideas for residents, businesses, and city employees who love their city and want to make it a place that people will love to live for generations to come.
