Sustainable Princeton helps Princeton residents, businesses, schools, non-profits, and municipal governments live and work more sustainably.
History
Video about the relationship between us and the Princeton Environmental Commission:
Sustainable Princeton arose out of a partnership between the Princeton Environmental Commission and the New Jersey Sustainability State Institute, in consultation with the residents of Princeton. Initial funding for a part-time Sustainability Coordinator and an intern was provided by a grant of $15,000 from a local family foundation and $7,500 each from the Borough and Township of Princeton.
In 2012, Sustainable Princeton has formed a Board and is applying for non-profit 501c(3) status.
