Mayors Committee
          for a Green Future

Initiated in 2006, the 13-member Mayors Committee for a Green Future (MCGF) is helping to lead and inspire New Jersey’s sustainability agenda. The committee is promoting greening in New Jersey municipalities through education, outreach, leadership and support for municipal programs and practices that protect the environment and contribute to a better New Jersey overall.

The Mayors Committee for a Green Future joined forces with the Municipal Land Use Center at the College of New Jersey and the New Jersey Sustainable State Institute at Rutgers University to launch the highly successfully Sustainable Jersey™ program.  On February 26, 2009, Sustainable Jersey began with a press conference and words of inspiration from Governor Jon Corzine and an impressive list of project sponsors. 

Sustainable Jersey was set in motion from an idea cultivated from the MCGF. New Jersey is now one of the first states in the nation to have a municipal certification program for sustainability.  To learn more about the Sustainable Jersey certification visit www.sustainablejersey.com.

In June 2009, fourteen New Jersey municipalities were awarded grants of $10,000 and $25,000 through a Wal-Mart donation to help New Jersey municipalities engage in greening and sustainability activities that are part of their work to achieve the Sustainable Jersey certification.  Also, municipalities that successfully become certified will be recognized at the 2009 New Jersey League of Municipalities conference.  The top-achieving municipalities will be the first recipients of the prestigious Sustainability Champion awards.
