Learn About Green Practices at Sustainable Video Library

Lake County’s Sustainable Video Library offers tips on conservation of energy, recycling, and water conservation.

County residents can learn about the energy saved by replacing incandescent light bulbs with fluorescent.  The Sustainable Lake County website also has videos on how to conserve your computer’s energy, the importance of recycling cans, and how to avoid wasting water.

Back in 2007, the county board passed a strategic plan with a goal to make Lake County a leader in sustainability. An explanation of the Strategy for a Sustainable Lake County is also available in the video library. Other videos show what Lake County is doing to go green.
