We will create a sustainable community by conducting ourselves, individually and collectively, in a manner such that the net effect of our actions is a positive
one. This will be measured by the ability of present and future generations to use and enjoy the world. We respect and protect our man-made and natural
environments and we manage them through a collective commitment. Our pledge is to achieve improvements in the quality of air, water, and land through the
protection, prevention, and remediation of the environment. We recognize the importance of our ecology and we know that positive change will come about through
increased community awareness of the environmental challenges that we face.
