As the Alexandria community (individuals, businesses, organizations, and city government) strives to create a sustainable community, we must recognize that our lives are inextricably linked to the global community. Environmental threats, such as climate change, could strain infrastructure, deplete natural resources, disrupt the economy and threaten public health in the City of Alexandria, the region, the country and the world. From the clothes we wear, the food we eat, the trash we produce, the homes we live in, to the way we get around—our attitudes and actions impact the environmental, economic and social health of Alexandria, the region, the nation and the world.
The Environmental Policy Commission welcomes your ideas, thoughts and questions about the role Alexandria can play in these global issues.
