Environmental Resources

These days, being green is a whole lot more than recycling.

We are faced with all kinds of choices to help keep the community a healthy, livable community through back-yard gardens, energy efficient appliances, carpooling, reusing, picking up after our pets and more.

Residents and businesses can get involved in keeping resources clean and healthy by simple steps that really add up.

We challenge you to Be a Green Neighbor by protecting natural resources through energy conservation, reduction of air and water pollution, recycling and staying up-to-date with environmental news through EcoConnect, our online environmental newsletter.
