Sustainable Jersey

This website provides an example of an established program that empowers communities to build a better world for future generations with the tools, training and financial incentives necessary to pursue critical sustainability initiatives at the state-wide level.

Sustainable Jersey is a network and movement of municipalities, schools and school districts working collectively to bring about a sustainable New Jersey. Acting with state agencies, non-profit organizations, foundations, academia and industry, Sustainable Jersey researches best practices for what communities could and should do to contribute to a sustainable future. The program culminates in a prestigious certification award to municipalities and schools that have documented meeting a set of rigorous standards.
