Is New Jersey succeeding in addressing our most pressing sustainability issues?
Most people see the benefits of having clean air, fresh water, alternative energy options, waterways filled with fish, garbage in its proper place, parks and open space and a healthy place to work, live and go to school. The big question is how do we achieve this as a state? With over 400 municipalities and 200 schools and districts participating in Sustainable Jersey, now is the time to ask big questions.
WE HAVE CLOSED REGISTRATION FOR THIS EVENT AS OF 5:00 PM ON JUNE 9TH, BUT WE ARE ACCEPTING A LIMITED NUMBER OF WALK INS.
Building on the 2013 Sustainability Summit at Duke Farms and the feedback received, the objectives of the 2015 New Jersey Sustainability Summit are to:
Participants will come away with a clear sense of the state of the movement, new ideas about what can be done to make progress, an expanded network of fellow practitioners, and the inspiration to go back and continue to drive change one municipality or school at a time.
