Sustainability:
•! Meeting our needs without
compromising the ability of future
generations to meet their own,
sometimes very basic, needs
![Page 17: Dianne Herrin Courtney Marm David Ward, AICP BLUER Chair ...Dianne Herrin Courtney Marm David Ward, AICP BLUER Chair CH2M Hill Chester County PC .

More than 3.3 billion people live in cities.
The future is now … the future is
sustainability

Cities cover less than 1% of
the earth‘s surface but consume some
75% of the world’s energy and
are responsible for 80% of
greenhouse gas emissions

contribution from electricity by purchasing
our electricity from a
source that does not
produce any carbon
emissions – wind

• Define life-cycle costs: factor fuel cost and
emissions into purchases
• Use readily accessible tools (EPA SmartWay) along with ICLEI software to assess carbon footprint
BLUER to provide input into the decision-making
process …so the most fuel efficient (and cost
effective) options can be recommended
