Marin County operations incorporate sustainable practices in a variety of ways.
Specific actions taken have lowered energy consumption, reduced waste, reduced
pesticide use, led to the recycling of numerous products, diversified the workforce
and increased affordable housing in the county. In many cases there is the potential
to expand existing programs. By applying the principles of sustainability to
all operations County agencies share common goals, while also individually determining
the best methods to achieve sustainability within the context of their own operations.
