Township Sustainability
| In 2009, Township staff began working to make King more sustainable - environmentally, socio-culturally, financially and economically. Sustainability is not just about the environment, it is a forward-looking vision that excites people and brings forth commitment and energy. Thinking ahead means that the needs of King residents will be met, without compromising the ability of the Township to meet the needs of future generations. |

Sustainability integrates the environment, economy and society in what is known as ‘the triple bottom line’, all important aspects of King and all dependant upon one another for success. This means that purchases we make, like paper, coffee, water and even vehicles should not only be considered in terms of their cost in dollars, but also their affects on the environment and society. |
