James Island Vision
A myriad of issues have begun to frustrate James Islanders, and James Island truly needs a collaborative vision for its development future.
Bicycle and Pedestrian Access
Charleston County does not have adequate connectivity or infrastructure for varying types of transportation. We are working towards safe and fair solutions for equitable opportunities when it comes to varying modes of transportation.
Local Food Sourcing Legislation
S.1048 is a concurrent resolution that establishes a goal for state agencies and state-owned facilities to source 15% of their food or food products from local farmers by the year 2015.
GrowFood Carolina
GrowFood Carolina will be helping to secure the future of a regional food supply and the prosperity of South Carolina’s rural communities.
Health Impacts Workshop
What happens when you breathe diesel exhaust from ships and cargo trucks? Asthma? Stroke? Heart disease? Cancer? High blood pressure? The answer is: all of the above, with the greatest impact on children and the elderly. Please come to our workshop and learn how to reduce port pollution on March 20th at Royal Missionary Baptist Church.
Cruise Ships in Charleston
The South Carolina State Ports Authority is expanding the passenger cruise ship business in Charleston. Cruise ships are like floating cities and generate significant water and air pollution, as well as increased traffic congestion. Charleston should insist on strict standards for this industry, as other cities and states around the country have done.
Nonpoint Source Pollution
Sources of water pollutants are numerous, but many can be prevented by our own individual actions.
Renewable Energy Package
Renewable energy opportunities are abundant in South Carolina. The Renewable Energy Package will help South Carolina make the transition from fossil fuels to a low carbon future.
Energy Efficiency and Municipal Renewable Financing
Innovative financing methods for renewable technologies are essential to the emerging green economy. The Energy Efficiency/ Renewable Energy Municipal Financing District is a new way for homeowners to finance efficiency and renewable projects.
Energy Efficiency Resource Standard
Energy efficiency is our cheapest, most abundant source of power in South Carolina. An Energy Efficiency Resource Standard will insure that South Carolinians take advantage of this “first fuel”.
