Gentek to Sit on Sustainable Jersey Panel
A Sustainable Jersey workshop will be held in Cherry Hill next week.
Gloucester Township Councilwoman Michelle Gentek will sit on a panel aiming to promote green initiatives in South Jersey next week.
The Citizens Campaign and Sustainable Jersey have partnered to host a sustainability workshop—Using the Sustainability Toolkit: Building Healthier Communities—at the Camden County Environmental Center, in Cherry Hill, on Tuesday, from 6 to 8:30 p.m.
Gentek will be joined by several noted sustainability experts for an interactive discussion slated to follow a session aiming to let area residents know what they can do to get green initiatives going in their communities.
Also slated to sit on the panel, according to The Citizens Campaign, are Lori Braunstein, of Sustainable Cherry Hill, Cindy Randazzo, director of the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection's Office of Local Government Assistance, and Staci Greenberg, a member of the Mantua Township Environmental Commission.
Workshop attendees will have access to ongoing mentoring and coaching by The Citizens Campaign, particularly ongoing assistance in serving on and recruiting people to join green teams and other local environmental boards and commissions, as well as assistance in presenting Sustainable Jersey model ordinances to local governing bodies and school boards.
Sustainable Jersey is a certification program for municipalities that want to go green, save money and take steps to sustain quality of life initiatives over the long term. It has the endorsement of the New Jersey League of Municipalities.

Good for her. I know "green" has been a pet project of hers for quite some time, and I have enjoyed what she has been doing. I look forward to seeing what she has to say.

Another stolen idea. Good job, Mayer is making sure he gets Norcross and his puppets lined up. What else do we have this sustainable stuff is all she seems to elaborate on. (Yawn)
What do you plan on stealing next Mayor Mayer.

@Danny: I do not think *who* came up with the idea is as important as whether our local government is acting on it.
The Citizens Campaign is a good government organization with a whole municipal toolkit of ideas and pre-written ordinances to aid local officials that have been vetted by highly respected jurists and passed by many other townships. Sustainability is one of their planks -- so is Pay-to-Play reform and a long list of other good ideas.
Let's work together to bring these ideas to Gloucester Township and celebrate an improved government instead of worrying about whose idea it was or even who brought the idea to Councils attention.

Mayor Dave Mayer will make sure his council member old members will take STEAL other peoples ideas. They block them so they can take the credit.
Bianchini has is about to be on council for a total of (15 Years) WOW
Orlando Mercado is about to serve for (10 Years) Unbelievable
Sam Siler - They dug him up out of the grave from the 1980's as a former councilmen who raised taxes several times, - He's baaaaack
Tracey Trotta - The new face that fell right in line with the rest of the corruptors.
Now it makes sense why they have no pay to play and gloucester township NEVER CHANGES. Same old Recycled people over and over again.
Here's an idea, VOTE THEM OUT! Don't be fooled by the awards for votes, its all a gimmick.
