Environmental Sustainability

Environmental Sustainability Benefits Everyone

Media has been a leader in environmental initiatives, and I want to keep that momentum going. Protecting our parks and trees, expanding our borough-wide composting program, and supporting the work of the Environmental Advisory Council are just a few ways we can continue making Media a greener place to live. Sustainability can also be family friendly! As Mayor, I will always support Media's Donald Trusty Tot Lot, which has its own canopy along with trees and greenspace. I was proud to support our Bird City and Bee City USA designations and will keep championing programs that help our environment and our community.
