"SM4RT LIVING is about making changes for our future"
The Regional Municipality of York has launched the SM4RT LIVING Plan, an Integrated Waste Management Master Plan that will guide waste management in York Region for the next 25 years.
The SM4RT LIVING Plan has another vital purpose: to explore a new way of living in the future that ensures that both people and our natural habitats thrive. This plan will focus on the need for lifestyle changes around the way we buy goods and materials, how we generate and dispose of waste and will encourage us to think and act in sustainable ways. This plan will also uncover how the transition from “Where We Are” to SM4RT LIVING will provide new economic, social, and environmental possibilities and opportunities for York Region.
The development of the SM4RT LIVING Plan will run until December 2012
There are a number of ways for you to be involved in the development of this ground breaking plan, which include:
- Visiting the SM4RT LIVING website www.SM4RTLIVING.ca and providing your ideas and comments
- Visiting the SM4RT LIVING booth at the many community events, festivals, sporting events and malls where someone will always be in attendance (full listing of events is on the website)
- Attending sessions to generate ideas, set the vision, and/or develop the strategy
The success of the project depends on participation from everyone in York Region, including families, students and business owners. Be a part of the development of the SM4RT LIVING Plan; an initiative that will ensure a more sustainable future for York Region residents.
