Glassboro Green Team Advisory Commission

We currently hold Bronze Level Certification with Sustainable New Jersey.

The mission of the Glassboro Green Team Advisory Commission is to help lead the community efforts in the adaptation of environmentally sustainable business practices by:

Glassboro’s Green Team wants you to live in a healthy and clean community. The Green Team works to identify cost effective opportunities to reduce Glassboro’s environmental impact. Together, they create awareness of local sustainability issues and the societal and financial importance of going green. In 2023, Glassboro was one of the 130 municipalities to be awarded a Bronze level certification by Sustainable New Jersey.

The progress Glassboro’s Green Team has made should come as no surprise to members of the community. Glassboro continues to expand infrastructure, acquire new businesses and enhance the overall quality of the town. Glassboro’s Green Team is right there bringing members of the community together to improve the overall health of the town. Glassboro wants to be seen as the gold standard for green towns in New Jersey and the Green Team is helping achieve that level of success.

Considering the Governor’s robust climate adaptation and mitigation efforts through an accelerated target of 100% clean energy by 2035, the Green Team’s progress may prove vital in the future. The work being done today means Glassboro will be set up for success in the future, while other municipalities look to catch up.  And even if the 2035 date falls through or is changed, Glassboro will still want to stay ahead of the green wave of sustainability crashing through New Jersey.
