[edit] NLC Committee on Sustainabilty
The Neighborhood Leaders Council established the NLC Committee on Sustainability on April 22, 2008, appropriately enough on the 38th anniversary of the first Earth Day. Its function is as follows:
The charge of the NLC Committee on Sustainability shall be threefold: 1) to provide a city-wide forum for the exchange of ideas and recommendations for more sustainable practices within neighborhoods; 2) to create recommendations for implementing such practices that can be distributed to all neighborhood associations as well as to the NLC; and 3) to foster connections among the NLC, neighborhood associations and community groups for promoting sustainable practices.
In other words, the NLC Sustainability Committee is a kind of grass-roots group seeking to increase green living on the neighborhood level.
