All across North America agencies are being pressured to “be more sustainable”.
As stewards of our local communities, Public Works has to take a leadership role in identifying and implementing sustainable practices as well as communicating these actions to the public. This session will discuss this role and provide case studies of communities that have been successful in both implementing and communicating their accomplishments.
Many agencies have adopted best practices that are actually sustainable but have not been identified as such. The second part of the program will be a call to action with tangible tips for how to identify sustainability practices in your own agency.
After viewing this program, participants will be better able to:
Identify existing sustainable processes utilized by their agency Communicate the benefits of using sustainable practices for their agency & community Incorporate new sustainable practices into their operations.
