Portsmouth, New Hampshire, Group to Examine City's Sustainability

Portsmouth residents will help craft a new sustainable vision for the city over the next few months through the Sustainable Portsmouth initiative, reports the Portsmouth Herald.

Sustainable Portsmouth is ''an effort led by volunteers who seek to engage the community in a transformation of the way the city handles a wide range of environmental and energy issues.'' The seeds of the initiative were sewn ''following the 2005 master plan to create a more sustainable Portsmouth,'' and formally launched last fall. ''It has involved residents, business owners and those directly involved in the city government. To reach that goal, organizers have a five-year plan that residents in study circles will be helping to craft.''  1/25/2010
