I decided to repost Trish Syzmanski's google+ share this morning here on SJC's site, along with the comments I added. While we've had a lot of this discussion at our meetings over the last couple of years, our blog platform was developed to give community stakeholders a voice and to help share information amongst those focused on transforming Jersey City into a more sustainable place to live and work. So we're inviting you to participate.

If you are interested to blog on our site, please send an email to info@sustainablejc.org - your posts will flow throw to all of our social media sites.

Trish's post and article below; my comments follow.

We can join and learn with +Sustainable JC.

We can become more aware and make changes in our communities and our own lives.

Waste not - Want not.

Hoboken is on the move and is bringing private, public and philanthropic partnerships together to help fund and execute this award winning plan by OMA http://stupiddope.com/2014/04/11/post-sandy-rehab-oma-plans-a-rebuild-by-design-defense-strategy-for-the-jersey-coastline-video/

They have also completed a Green Infrastructure Strategic Plan (Bravo!) which is what Jersey City needs to do. ALL new economic dev, real estate dev and RE-development initiatives should be planned with climate change realities in mind. Other cities are doing this - Jersey City can do this.
