Summary:

Provides an introduction to "sustainable communities" and suggests ways in which supporters of pollution prevention can integrate their own activities with these efforts. A sustainable community endeavor consists of a long-term, integrated approach to developing and achieving a healthy community by addressing economic, environmental, and social issues such as urban sprawl, inner-city and brownfield redevelopment, new economic development, a strong local economy, environmental justice, ecosystem management, agriculture, biodiversity, green buildings, energy conservation, watershed management, and pollution prevention. Report explores the relationship between sustainable community activities and pollution prevention.
