Summary of Activities and Accomplishments 2009
The Sustainability Team is comprised of one representative from each of the divisions and major offices within DENR. In 2009, the team reported to Chief Deputy Secretary Manly Wilder.
The team met in January and elected team officers. Team members were responsible for gathering, sharing and developing information on sustainability, resources and ideas for their division. Additionally, team members served as division representatives in the implementation of DENR‐ wide sustainability activities. Each team member was encouraged to serve on no more than two subcommittees during the year.
Team members met monthly and focused on continued implementation of its strategic plan, which was used to identify activities for each of the 11 subcommittees. Promoting sustainable practices in existing DENR buildings, video conferencing, wider acceptance for teleworking and green living policy recommendations were identified as priority goals.
From drafting green living policies to recycling denim, the 2009 Sustainability Team accomplished a diverse list of projects. This report contains the significant activities and accomplishments for the year.
In 2010, the team will revise its strategic plan as needed. This living document will again serve as the guide for determining the year’s priority activities. Policy development, promoting sustainable activities, increasing employee awareness and assessing accomplishments will continue as priorities. The team will also assist DENR in meeting and exceeding the department’s strategic goals in 2010.
