Overview
About Sustainable Jersey
Sustainable Jersey is a network and movement of over 400 municipalities and 1211 schools working collectively to achieve a sustainable future. Our mission is to bring about a sustainable New Jersey one community at a time. Acting collectively with state agencies, non-profit organizations, experts, foundations, and industry, Sustainable Jersey sets standards and researches best practices for what communities could and should do to contribute to a sustainable future.
The program culminates in a prestigious certification after municipalities and schools have documented that they have met a set of rigorous standards. Sustainable Jersey provides tools, training, and financial incentives to support communities as they pursue sustainability programs.
Sustainable Jersey has significant capacity for research, outreach, and program implementation in many areas with particular strengths in energy, civic engagement, land use, resiliency, sustainability indicators, health, and grant making.
