Rezumat
The volunteers in this Green Team are people with backgrounds in business, environmentalism, facility management and construction along with some township and school employees. 18,000 people live in the township, which covers Long Valley and Schooley's Mountain. The Green Map will be cataloguing trails, parks and other recreational activities as well as places to buy local produce and green businesses.
Here's a great statement from their Map Profile:
"Creating a sustainable community will require leadership, vision, and a commitment to starting the long-term journey toward sustainability. The Green Team will be the catalyst for creating an understanding of what sustainability means in Washington Township. The team will also be responsible for determining how to monitor and evaluate progress towards this goal.
The Green Team will lead and coordinate the sustainability activities of the community. This will be done by leveraging the skills and expertise of team members to develop plans, implement programs, coordinate with sustainable and green efforts in other communities and assist with educational opportunities that support the creation of a sustainable community.
