2018 Areas of Focus

For 2018, the Sustainable La Crosse Commission has identified two areas of focus: 

(1) working with the La Crosse County Solid Waste Department regarding waste generated by construction/demolition activities and ash tree removal, and

(2) helping to promote increased use of alternative transportation options within/among municipalities in La Crosse County. 

Other creative sustainability opportunities may also exist, for example using methane gas produced by La Crosse's waste water treatment plant as a source of renewable energy to generate electricity.

The Commission also encourages suggestions from those of you reading and studying this material. Other observations, suggestions, and comments are always welcome. 

Please feel free to contact any of the commission members with your thoughts. In addition, you may call (608 785-9768) or email the La Crosse County Sustainability Coordinator, Nick Nichols.
