Ridgewood has given a green light to establishing a Green Team in the village.
With unanimous approval from the Village Council on July 17, the municipality is one step closer to joining more than 400 other towns in working toward Sustainable Jersey certification.
The team will act as an advisory committee to the village and is a mandatory component for towns seeking the benefits of the Sustainable Jersey program.
Municipalities work toward certification by earning points for offering different activities – such as forming a Green Team, holding educational events about the environment, and recycling efforts – and in return are rewarded with access to resources and grant opportunities.
The program awards certification in three levels – bronze, silver, and gold – and towns stay certified for three years before needing to again qualify.
In Ridgewood, Councilman Michael Sedon is leading the effort and will be the liaison to the Green Team once established.
“The certification comes with the prestige of showing that your town is serious about sustainable projects,” Sedon said.
