For me the decision to volunteer was rooted in three ideas. I wanted to learn about environmental issues, to connect with people who are passionate about creating positive change in the community, and I wanted to move from thinking and saying to doing.
This Low Impact Development (LID) Atlas was created for the National
Nonpoint Education for Municipal Officials (NEMO) Network by the
Connecticut NEMO Program and the California Center for Water and Land
Use to highlight innovative LID practices around the country. Its goal
is to encourage and educate local officials and others about low impact
development practices by providing specific, local examples of their
use.
