Community sustainability is the process of creating balance among the environment, the economy and society to ensure that meeting the needs of today does not compromise the quality of life for future generations. A recent Lakewood citizen survey found overwhelming support for the City government investing resources to help sustain the local environment (95% ‘strongly’ or ‘somewhat’ supportive, 2013). Help us identify topics, ideas, programs or actions to achieve a sustainable Lakewood!
