CARLSBAD, CA, October 25, 2011 /24-7PressRelease/ -- In a report in Energy Digital, the City of Kingston explains that through a cooperation among City, community and business Kingston is on its way to becoming the most energy efficient municipality in Canada.

The City of Kingston is heavily focused on creating a more sustainable community. Through promotion of LEED construction, collaboration with community partners and the encouragement of renewable energy use, Kingston is already on its way to becoming the most sustainable municipality in Canada for generations to come.

The City of Kingston's green initiatives are guided by the environmental goals outlined in the community-built Sustainable Kingston Plan. Created to encourage a culture of sustainability within the community and, ultimately, to make the City of Kingston a more sustainable place.

"It's sustaining our quality of life by sustaining the environment we rely on to enjoy that quality of life," says Paul MacLatchy, Director of Environment & Sustainable Initiatives, City of Kingston.

The Sustainable Kingston Plan is not a directive that the City sets upon its citizens, but was developed by the public - individual residents, organizations and businesses to leverage community cooperation in pursuit of achieving community-set goals set out under a chosen four-pillar approach to sustainability, which includes themes under economic, social and cultural goals in addition to environmental ones.
