Environmental Goals

VPIS, with assistance from the city’s Environmental Sustainability Council (ESC), developed five important goals for the city to improve environmental sustainability:

• Increase tree canopy
• Increase residential solid waste recycling
• Reduce the release of greenhouse gases causing global warming
• Increase green or “pervious” surfaces
• Promote sustainable building standards

VPIS will be producing a report to measure are success in meeting these goals every few years.
