Interactive site is available at AllinClarkCounty.com

As people observe Earth Day today, the Clark County Department of Environment and Sustainability (DES) launched its online Sustainability and Climate Action dashboard. The site takes users through the five sections of the County’s Sustainability and Climate Action Plan, which outlines the County’s efforts to promote sustainable practices and climate action in its operations to mitigate the effects of climate change. Clark County’s Board of Commissioners approved the plan at its Feb. 16 meeting. The dashboard is live at AllinClarkCounty.com.

“This dashboard is designed specifically to give the community a transparent and comprehensive outline of the County’s plan to modernize its operations to address the impacts of climate change in our community,” said DES Assistant Director Jodi Bechtel. “Additionally, this dashboard provides tips and information for individuals to incorporate sustainable practices into their homes and everyday lives.”

In addition to a Virtual Earth Day section, visitors to the site may review the County’s specific plans in five critical areas:

Clean, reliable energy.
Resiliency.
Smart waste management and reduction.
Sustainable transportation.
Water conservation and protection.
