Residents encouraged to join R.B.'s green team

Do you have a passion for issues relating to the environment? Are you interested in local economic and social matters? If so, the Red Bank Environmental Commission (RBEC) is forming a green team to participate in the Sustainable Jersey municipal certification program.

The Green Team will be tasked with enhancing the quality of life in our borough through the three principles of sustainability — environmental stewardship, economic development, and social equity. The green team, relying on the funding and technical resources available through Sustainable Jersey, will work to implement healthful, valuable and humane long-term improvements to our community.

We are looking to fill out the roster of the green team. There has been much talk of going green here in the borough.

The RBEC believes Sustainable Jersey provides a comprehensive and navigable roadmap to further this commendable goal. Using the program as a driver, we can achieve the vision of a Green Bank while keeping sight of economic development and social equities as well.
