On June 14, COA’s Staff Scientist Swarna Muthukrishnan, PhD, and Education Coordinator Kari Martin attended Sustainable Jersey’s 2019 Sustainability Summit at Bellworks in Holmdel. COA was a partner and exhibitor at the conference. The event brought together over 400 diverse participants from across NJ and more than 50 experts and practitioners to discuss sustainability trends, analyze innovative approaches for solving critical problems and spark lasting partnerships. A total of 12 sustainability sessions were offered with topics ranging from community solar and electric vehicles and solutions to today’s recycling crisis to sustainable practices in schools and addressing public health at the community level. Sustainable Jersey is celebrating its 10th Anniversary as a certification program for municipalities in New Jersey. It is a 501C3 non-profit organization that is helping NJ towns build a better world for future generations by supporting community efforts to reduce waste, cut greenhouse gas emissions, and improve environmental equity.
