Moon Township Awarded Gold Certification for its Sustainable Practices

Moon Township is among the first municipalities to become certified through the Southwestern Pennsylvania Sustainable Community Essentials Certification program. Moon Township is recognized at the gold level of certification for meeting the program's rigorous performance criteria which tracks 131 policies and practices that define a sustainable community. The Sustainable Community Essentials Certification, developed by Sustainable Pittsburgh, is designed for municipalities that are working to save money, conserve resources and serve vibrant communities. It applauds municipalities for their demonstrated commitment and sustainability performance.

In earning the gold certification, Moon Township is acknowledged for its progress in addressing such areas as community design and land use, energy efficiency, health and wellness, mitigating blight, intergovernmental cooperation, recycling and waste reduction, fiscal controls and internal management and operations. Details regarding how Moon Township is addressing these areas can be found on the certification program’s website sustainablecommunityessentials.org.
