The Mayors Committee for a Green Future joined forces with the Municipal Land Use Center at the College of New Jersey and the New Jersey Sustainable State Institute at Rutgers University to launch the highly successfully Sustainable Jersey™ program.  On February 26, 2009, Sustainable Jersey began with a press conference and words of inspiration from Governor Jon Corzine and an impressive list of project sponsors. 

Sustainable Jersey was set in motion from an idea cultivated from the MCGF. New Jersey is now one of the first states in the nation to have a municipal certification program for sustainability.  To learn more about the Sustainable Jersey certification visit www.sustainablejersey.com.
