    "Our strategy to build economically competitive, environmentally sustainable, opportunity-rich communities that serve as the backbone for our long-term growth and prosperity…We need strategies that encourage smart development linked to quality public transportation, that bring our communities together. That's why we'll improve our Partnership for Sustainable Communities by working with HUD, EPA, and the Department of Transportation in making sure that when it comes to development, housing, energy, and transportation policy go hand in hand." --President Barack Obama, January 21, 2010

  • The mission of the Office of Sustainable Housing and Communities is to create strong, sustainable communities by connecting housing to jobs, fostering local innovation, and helping to build a clean energy economy. In order to better connect housing to jobs, the office will work to coordinate federal housing and transportation investments with local land use decisions in order to reduce transportation costs for families, improve housing affordability, save energy, and increase access to housing and employment opportunities. By ensuring that housing is located near job centers and affordable, accessible transportation, we will nurture healthier, more inclusive communities which provide opportunities for people of all ages, incomes, races, and ethnicities to live, work, and learn together.

    One of our country's most pressing goals is to build an economy that provides good jobs now-and that creates a strong foundation for enduring prosperity. To accelerate job growth for this and future generations, that foundation must be built with expanded housing and transportation choices, greater energy independence, and better protection for our clean air and water.

    This is such a cool website that is packed with information about how to make choices in our every day lives that effect our environment in positive ways. There is a section called "The Card" that leads you to some links to print out a free card that is packed full of great information about buying choices and transportation etc. and it is easy to use when you are out and about. Most of the tips do not involve large expenditures, they are very simple and easy to implement. I like this site because it provides information about how everyone can make simple, inexpensive positive changes.
