PPI CREDIT 4:  SUSTAINABILITY INVESTMENTS

1 - 2 POINTS

    INTENT

To help dispersed populations become better connected and learn to live more sustainably.  This credit will reward those who go beyond the minimum requirements to help underwrite real regional change.

    REQUIREMENTS

Choose at least one of the following options or bring forth other ideas for consideration. A minimum total investment of $10,000 is required.
1. Contribute financially to a community recycling bin, household hazardous waste day, or electronic waste collection events to help reduce volumes of waste entering the landfill.  (See BE 3.1)
2. Donate to local efforts to bring in community shared services that will improve water, wastewater, and energy systems. This contribution must go directly into an “earmarked or restricted” account specifically for conservation or environmental preservation and NOT into the general fund of the receiving organization. (See PSI 5)
3. Contribute to an established outdoor education program to deliver comprehensive interpretive programs that cover topics important to the region such as natural history, ecology, culture, history and geological features specific to the area. (See RR 4)
