We're committed.
Our mission is to develop sustainable communities across Putnam County, NY — ecologically sound, socially equitable, and economically responsible — today and for future generations.
We're building a Sustainable Putnam.
Here's the steps we're taking towards a cleaner county:
- Reduce greenhouse gas emissions to reverse global warming.
- Strengthen the resilience and biodiversity of our ecosystems.
- Improve the quality of life in our homes and neighborhoods.
- Encourage socially and ecologically responsible local businesses.
We're working together, and we need your help.
Through partnerships with residents, community organizations, businesses, and local governments, Sustainable Putnam works to improve our ecosystems' health, strengthen community bonds, and build a more vibrant local economy.
