TH16P1 Achieving sustainable communities requires action at all levels - including key government, development, and legislative decision makers. Action can be prompted by educating constituencies, building pressure from the ground up using a framework of targeted outcomes, benefits and incentives. Sustainable Jersey delivers State-wide educational efforts and a road tested certification and incentive system offering communities a framework around which community motivation can connect with municipal goals to go green, save money, and take steps to sustain their quality of life over the long term. Sustainable Cherry Hill, a motivated South Jersey non-profit with a dozen motivated volunteer task forces now hosts regular events and educational efforts targeted at sustainability and the achievement of Sustainable Jersey points and incentives. Sustainable Cherry Hill has successfully migrated general public interest in sustainability into effective action by connecting with municipal government, local businesses, and community residents using Sustainable Jersey as a framework of goals. By thinking locally - community based programs can frame sustainability in terms understandable to everyone. By educating about local impacts and benefits, homeowners, businesses, developers, educators, faith communities, and local environmental interests can be connected to a broader cause through their own individual perspectives. Learn how Sustainable Jersey and Sustainable Cherry Hill work together to organize efforts and capture the energy necessary to build support for sustainability in your community.
