Come hear what the county's Sustainability Team accomplished in 2009 and what they have planned for 2010 to make our community more sustainable and save you tax dollars in the process! The Green Resource Hub is excited to bring you Cheryl Nelson for our third SEEN event of 2010... Cheryl Nelson is the Tompkins County Public Works Administrator and chair of the Tompkins County Sustainability Team, whose mission is to promote sustainable practices including social, environmental, and economic stewardship to benefit future generations and to inspire other municipalities, public and private entities, and the residents to do the same.

The 2009 subcommittees included Environmentally Preferred Procurement, Green Fleet Policy, Alternative Fuels Consortium, Energy Efficiency, Waste Reduction, Infrastructure Design, Natural Resources, Green House Gas Emissions, and Employee Education & Involvement.
