Golden, CO's Commitment to Sustainability

Last weekish, the city council of Golden Colorado passed what should be considered a fantastic example of a local government's commitment to the principles of sustainability. Using the Bruntland Commission's definition of sustainability and setting clear goals and objectives, they have gone where every village, town and city should go.

With Resolution 1793 (page 37) they have acknowledged the responsibility of government to provide leadership in the economic, environmental and social development within their jurisdiction. If only others would follow suit!
