IMG_5424To maintain our Sustainable Jersey certification, Madison’s Green Team – the Sustainable Madison Advisory Committee – completes an online application at a minimum of every three years, documenting sustainable actions in the Borough. These actions fall into several major categories, ranging from energy to food, waste, natural resources, building, transportation, health, water, and community education and outreach. The Green Team works closely with Borough staff, officials and committees, and with other organizations in town to encourage, support, initiate and report on sustainable actions and practices.
