Green Infrastructure Committee

About the Committee

Our goal is to change people’s habits and keep them aware of new ways to go green. There are many small ways people can go green, such as using lake friendly fertilizer or preventing idling your vehicle whenever possible. By looking at the information on this website, we hope that everyone can make smarter, more green decisions in their life, without dramatically changing their lifestyles.
