The Havre de Grace Green Team, initiated in January 2011 and incorporated in 2013, is a group of volunteers who value sustainable environmental decision-making; where decisions made in the present have a neutral or positive impact on the future, and where our environmental assets and natural beauty are valued, preserved, and enhanced for improved quality of life.
As such, the Havre de Grace Green Team Mission Areas are:
- Implementation: Act as a focal point to implement programs that support local environmental goals. Engage in projects and activities that facilitate citizen enjoyment of our natural resources. Work closely with other local organizations to promote actions and behavior among citizens that are consistent with a sustainable vision for the future
- Education: Improve community-members’ environmental awareness/understanding by identifying, developing as needed, and distributing or presenting printed and multi-media materials related to selected environmental focus areas.
- Community Building/Engagement: Provide opportunities to facilitate stronger relationships among community members in pursuit of environmental goals; enable members and citizens to engage in community service and participate in city environmental policy
- Advocacy: Identify and recommend policies or practices that address local environmental issues. Provide input and review into major projects and legislation that may potentially affect the environmental quality of our region. Facilitate communications and contribute citizen perspective to city government and related organizations to integrate environmental considerations into decision-making
