Newark Delaware Sustainability Initiative:
Sustainability is the ability of the current generation to meet its needs without compromising the needs of future generations.
Newark, DE currently has a lot of momentum moving in the direction of becoming a sustainable community. We want to work with this momentum to move Newark and surrounding regions farther in this direction.
Our vision:
- Clean air and water, and healthy natural areas, in and around Newark.
- Productive local gardening and agriculture, and widely available, affordable local food.
- A stable, thriving economy that is not dependent on an influx of outside money or resources from a few sources.
- Strong, vibrant, and diverse community in the City of Newark.
- A positive relationship between the University of Delaware and the city's permanent residents.
- Efficient use of resources by government, businesses, organizations, and individuals in Newark.
Sustainability is more than just consideration of environmental issues; sustainability also encompasses culture and economics, and can only be achieved through a long-term outlook which focuses both on details and the big picture.
