County Update: Commissioner Fast urges ‘the will to be bold and make sustainability a priority’

As your newly elected District 1 Commissioner, you can trust that I will be a strong voice for improving air quality, increasing energy efficiency efforts resulting in tax savings, and maximizing waste diversion from the landfill, including promoting innovation in food waste composting. Your input and feedback are needed, as the Johnson County Board of Commissioners is deliberating on the 2019 Draft Solid Waste Plan in mid-August.

Although we have been practicing and promoting conservation for many years in Johnson County, we can - and will - do more. This process involves each of us working together and making a long-term commitment to sustainability measures for present and future generations. We can and must do better!
