Agency Details:

The Commission for a Greener Tomorrow is a non-profit corporation organized exclusively for charitable, educational, and scientific purposes consistent with its vision statement and the following premise: That for meaningful progress to be made in the area of sustainable development, it must be made on a consensus basis, and for development to be sustainable, it must incorporate all three areas of activity and concern: economic, social and environmental.

Description:
The Commission for a Greener Tomorrow acknowledges its responsibility for leadership in creating a sustainable community. A sustainable community respects its own diversity and accepts responsibility for the social, economic and ecological well-being of the present and future generations through individual and collective actions.

The Commission for a Greener Tomorrow's Action Teams welcome more members, all citizens in Central Wisconsin who support the above vision statement are encouraged to join.

The Commission for a Greener Tomorrow was established in the summer of 2007 by the City of Wausau to encourage greater awareness of sustainability issues in the Greater Wausau area. Volunteers staff various teams dealing with issues ranging from waste and recycling to transportation, locally-produced food and clean water. The goal is to reduce waste, promote healthier lifestyles, adopt more environmentally-friendly practices and also capture cost savings where that is possible, too.

Commission members are available to speak with groups and organizations about Earth Month opportunities or the commission's role in general. For more information, please visit the www.gogreencentralwisconsin.com or call 715-261-6810.
