Transportation To move toward sustainability, we should: 1. Strew the use of public transportation. 2 Encourage and utilize low-impact transportation by providing sidewalks, walking trail, and bicycle paths 3. Ensure the availability of energy of xie nt public transportation to new areas of development and to-and from city centers 4. Reduce crags-country transportation of goods by diversifying local resources i Recreation More and more leisure time is a blessing and a curse. Much of our leisure time uses massive amounts of energy. More sustainable recreational opportunities should: 1. Promote low-impact activities (such as bird watchin& golf, tennis etc.). 2 Eliminate the use of fossil fuels (ie use of solar charged or electric golf carts). 3. Not detract from or destroy natural areas. 4. Minimize maintercance, maximize use of native and naturalized plants. Green Space and Corridors Parks, bike paths, trees, green tentacles of forested stream corridors reaching into urban . areas are necessary elements of sustainability. In this regard we should: 1. Provide access to appropriate greenspaces for educational and recreational experiences 2 Maintain corridors that connect areas and allow for wildlife movement within the property boundary and to and from adjacent areas. 3. Preserve greenspaces within a city or community. Chemical Use To reach sustainability, we must minimise the use of chemicals in order to keep the balance of nature intact. To achieve this level of sustainability, development must: 1. Utilize the least atmospheric destructive forms of refrigeration, climate coniro4 and irsulation. 2 Minimize chemical use in maintenance activities both inside and outside- 3. utside3. Encourage the consumption of products made with little or no chemically treated materials. VI-39
