Over the past several years Americans have seen a substantial rise in energy costs at the pump and at home. Although resolving energy issues may seem to fall predominately on state and national leaders, there are many opportunities and strategies that each Gladstone resident can do to reduce energy consumption and also save money. In return, these actions can help to minimize the overall impact to our natural environment.

Global climate change, energy policy, and the shift to become more sustainable in our daily living are difficult and often challenging topics to address. However, there are many small and successful actions that can be done today that will also provide a more predictable and certain outcome for future generations.

Our community and region are linked to many natural resources that help sustain the way we live, while also providing us with a healthy and high quality of life. We hope that you will find this information useful and join us in making an enjoyable and healthy Gladstone of tomorrow.
