    Electricity Generation
    What does your vision of a sustainable community look like? What would need to be changed in order for such vision to become reality?

    My vision of a sustainable community is mandating manufacturers of consumables to package goods in biodegradable or recyclable containers.

      Agreed! Even though packaged goods companies are realizing the need to reduce packaging waste, they will be able to move faster with regulations that mandate the transition.
