In order to collaborate for sustainability improvements, it is helpful to have a shared baseline data set. the Sustainability Practitioners developed a list of potential shared metrics for our region, and the attached file shows the UIUC data from FY14 for these metrics.
In August, this group discussed the general topic of native plants and pollinator support.
Hi everyone,

About this time last year, the Champaign County Regional Planning Commission, in collaboration with the Lumpkin Family Foundation and the Illinois Sustainable Technology Center, embarked on a project to improve Household Hazardous Waste (HHW) collection options in a seven-county area (see attachment) of East Central Illinois. Our study area includes Champaign County. This past July, we completed Part 1 of the project--a comprehensive overview of HHW collection activities in Illinois and best management practices.
Scott Tess, with the City of Urbana, has requested a meeting of local sustainability staff to discuss a community-wide energy star challenge.
