Thurston County's Sustainability Policy

Thurston County's Sustainability Policy was adopted by the Board of County Commissioners on February 12, 2007 after a lengthy review process involving department heads and elected officials. This policy encourages departments to reduce waste, increase recycling, conserve energy and water, use green building techniques and practice environmentally preferable purchasing.

As a result of this new policy, Thurston County is continually looking for ways to reduce workplace hazards and protect environmental and financial resources by reviewing the products we are currently buying, and directing dollars toward more environmentally responsible alternatives.

Thurston County's goal is to lead by example and improve our own operations, while helping others do the same.
