This is a call to action for homeowners, renters, students, teachers, parents, business owners and local government officials — everyone who participates in the life of the Princeton community — to get involved in making Princeton greener. On March 11 at 7 p.m. at the Suzanne Paterson Center, come and give your input on the draft Sustainable Princeton Community Plan, and sign up to help carry it out. This plan puts Princeton alongside thousands of communities throughout the world which recognize that they have the power to collectively, one by one, address climate change, strengthen their local economies, and advance social equity.
The plan has six broad goals, and four action plans for four sectors of the community — residents, schools, businesses and local government. Each of those sectors has a working group that you may join to work on a wide range of actions — from changing light bulbs to greening municipal building codes, from creating green purchasing cooperatives to creating safe bicycle paths, from composting leaves and food waste to providing for those in need, from buying local to integrating sustainability into the school curriculum.
There is a place in the plan for you. You can find it by taking a look at the plan, which is available at the Princeton Public Library, Township and Borough Halls, and online at: http://www.princetontwp.org/Sustainable-Princeton-Draft2-5.pdf. If you don’t have time to review it before March 11, you’re still welcome.
