The San Bernardino County Board of Supervisors recognizes that prosperity and economic development cannot be achieved at the expense of our environment. The County must strike a balance between development and environmental stewardship to keep our economy strong and, at the same time, protect our environment.

In August 2007, the Board of Supervisors launched Green County San Bernardino to spur the use of “green” technologies and building practices among residents, business owners and developers in the County.

Additionally, Green County San Bernardino includes a public awareness component aimed at educating residents about steps they can take in their daily lives to conserve resources and protect the environment.

By supporting “green” building practices, renewable energy, resource conservation and other efforts to safeguard our environment, the Board of Supervisors is setting the course for sustainability and paving the way for responsible growth in the County of San Bernardino.
