"A Better, Greener Way of Life"
The Town is proud to present our Green Apple program, a handy plan to help our community reduce, reuse, recycle and renew. With all of our green apples in one barrel, we do quite a bit to lessen our impact on the environment. Besides the daily things we do at Town Hall, like using two sides of the paper, maintaining separate recycle bins in each office, and distributing reports electronically, we also offer a number of programs for our residents.
Just to name a few of our events and programs:
We also have policies and philosophies that assure we are being good stewards of the environment. For example, as part of the General Plan Update now underway, we are developing a Habitat Conservation Plan for the Town and the entire Sphere of Influence, covering over 200 square miles. The plan will address compliance issues related to the Endangered Species Act and the environmental review process required by state and federal agencies. Those wishing to develop vacant property will know up front what measures need to be taken to mitigate impacts to certain species, while still allowing development to occur.
Turn the water off while you brush your teeth? Recycle bottles and cans? Have a compost bin or native landscaping? Does your business have a recycling account? Look around, you’ll probably be surprised at how green you already are! If we all do a little we can make a big difference.
