Public enthusiasm and support for “going green“ is growing every day and responsive local governments are developing sustainability programs that save money, time and resources. This summer we hosted our second annual Sustainability Summit, providing our guests with the opportunity to fully immerse themselves in green ideas and practices. There were discussions of free and low-cost community resources, shared success stories from industry experts and community leaders, information about how native landscaping and rain gardens can help improve water quality and prevent flooding, a meet and greet with state and federal representatives and conversations about building support for and awareness of your community’s sustainability projects. MWRD staff also presented a thorough demonstration of how biosolids use can improve your turf quality and reduce your carbon footprint. On this page you'll find Sustainability Summit materials, including the event press release, event program, photos and the participant survey. If you attended and have not submitted your survey, please do so and send it to the MWRD Office of Public Affairs. Check in early next year for 2015 Sustainability Summit information and registration. Let us know if you'd like to attend, and we're always looking to add presenters and exhibitors, too.
