Thank you for another great Earth Day event!

On Saturday, April 26th, we had a blast hosting Bloomfield's annual Earth Day celebration in partnership with the Bloomfield Public Library. Thank you to everyone that came out to learn more about sustainability and to enjoy the live music and local food truck fare!

Our thanks also goes out to the township departments and community groups that participated this year including the Bloomfield Beautification Committee, Bloomfield Environmental Commission and the Bloomfield Recycling Committee. The event is made possible with support from the Bloomfield Department of Parks, Recreation and Cultural Affairs and the Bloomfield Police Department.

Working to advance Bloomfield's municipal certification for sustainability.

Since 2009, the Township of Bloomfield has authorized Greener Bloomfield to serve as the Township's Green Team and primary contact for the Sustainable Jersey Municipal Certification process. With the approval of the Township Administrator or the Mayor and Township Council, Greener Bloomfield completes and files the township’s submissions for the municipal certification program.

Greener Bloomfield works in an advisory capacity with the Mayor and Council, Township Administrator, and other organizations in the Township.

The specific responsibilities of our organization are to:

Ensure the Township Administrator has the necessary information to approve the filing of the Municipal Registration on behalf of the Township of Bloomfield;
Assess the Sustainable Jersey program and the paths to certification that best fit the Township;
Develop a proposal to the Mayor and Council identifying specific Sustainability Jersey actions for the Township to pursue for certification;
Help coordinate the actions approved by the Mayor and Council to achieve certification; and
Update the Mayor and Council on a regular basis as to the status of the Sustainable Jersey program and the progress toward the Township's Sustainable Jersey certification.
