Sustainable Community Activities and Pollution Prevention
This research brief describes work documented in Linking Sustainable Community Activities to Pollution Prevention: A Sourcebook (MR-855-OSTP).
Excerpt: Communities in the United States have increasingly come to believe that environmental issues and other community problems cannot be addressed in isolation. Instead, many communities are confronting them as part of a broader approach to developing and achieving a healthy community by addressing economic, environmental, and social issues together. This new approach is typically based on the concept of "sustainability." Indeed, the growing popularity of the concept has prompted some to declare that a "sustainable community" movement is under way in the United States.
