Effective environmental commissioners are the local heroes for natural resources in the community. Environmental commissions work on many issues, including open space preservation, land use issues including smart growth, wetlands and water resource protection, green infrastructure, recycling and litter, environmental cleanups, flora and fauna habitat protection, energy efficiency and conservation and transportation. They work with local officials to help revitalize their communities.
