Environment
Regional Councils across the nation are putting exciting and innovative programs and tools in place to help their local governments address common environmental issues. NARC is committed to helping promote and build local/regional environmental programs and tools in the hopes of creating safe and sustainable communities. NARC wants all regional councils to learn from each other, through the exchange of information about environmental activities and aspirations, as well as talk about technical assistance and training needs. NARC will also work with its members to review legislative proposals, and with federal agencies to improve program delivery. For more information on environmental program topics, visit www.GreenRegions.org.
NARC and its members work on environmental issues such as:
- Air Quality
- Brownfields
- Green Infrastructure and Landcare
- Water Quality
- Solid Waste and Hazardous Waste-management
- Homeland Security/Hazard Mitigation
Each environmental issue will feature articles, best practices as well as research and tools and relevant links. Some sections will provide information on workshop/conference sessions and telecast information, as well as areas of legislative priority.
