Last week SSMC hosted a webinar for new and existing council members, city staff and community leaders where we reviewed the state of sustainability in our county and shared solutions to more quickly improve sustainability. San Mateo County has been a leader in sustainability, but there is still a lot of work to be done. See below for links to watch the webinar and access the solutions available to help us make more progress, quickly.
