  • Sustainable Closter Initiative Guidance Document and DRAFT - April 2008 Action Plan
    Sustainable Closter Initiative Guidance Document and DRAFT - April 2008 Action Plan Sustainable Closter Initiative The environmental challenges in the United States are becoming increasingly complex. According to an October 2007 EPA Sustainability Report, in the last 30 years this country’s energy consumption has increased by 42% and demand for petroleum, natural gas and coal each is projected to increase by 25-40% over the next 20 years (EPA 600/S 07/001, October 2007, www.epa.gov/sustainability). Our water resources are also under strain, as 408 billion gallons of water are withdrawn each day. The pace of land development between 1992 and 1997 was more than 1.5 times the rate of the previous 10 years. If we do not change consumption habits, the EPA believes a 24% projected increase in population will result in a comparable increase in total waste generation over the next 20 years. While it has been difficult to implement change on a national level, communities are increasingly attempting to make a difference by introducing sustainability initiatives on a local level. According to the World Commission on the Environment (1987) the definition of sustainability is: Development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.” The New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection further defines a sustainable community as one that acknowledges that economic, environmental and social issues are interrelated and that these issues should be addressed “holistically.” This view acknowledges that environmental considerations alone are not enough to achieve a sustainable state but it is also necessary to consider the effects on the economy and society as a whole.

  • History of Bergen County from the First Settlers Through the 20Th Century
    COUNTY OF BERGEN James J. Tedesco, III County Executive BOARD OF CHOSEN FREEHOLDERS Thomas J. Sullivan Chairman Germaine M. Ortiz Vice Chairwoman Mary J. Amoroso Chair Pro Tempore David L. Ganz Steven A. Tanelli Dr. Joan M. Voss Tracy Silna Zur Bergen County is the most populous county of the state of New Jersey. As of the 2000 Census, the population was 884,118, growing to 905,116 as of the 2010 Census and the population estimate in July 2017 was 948,406. It is part of the New York Metropolitan Area. The county seat is Hackensack. In 2009 Bergen County ranked 16th among the highest income counties in the United States, in terms of per-capita income. History At the time of first European contact, Bergen County was inhabited by Native American people, particularly the Lenape groups of the Tappan, Hackensack and Rumachenanck (later called the Haverstraw). Today, some of the Ramapough Mountain Indians who reside in the northwest of the county trace their ancestry back to the Lenape and Munsee peoples. The area comprising today's Bergen and Hudson counties was part of New Netherland, the 17th century North American colonial province of the Dutch Republic. It had been claimed after Henry Hudson (sailing for the Dutch East India Company) explored Newark Bay and anchored his ship at Weehawken Cove in 1609. Early settlement attempts by the Dutch included Pavonia (1633), Vriessendael (1640) and Achter Col (1642) but these settlements were repelled in Kieft's War (1643-1645) and the Peach Tree War (1655-1660). Settlers again returned to the western shores of the Hudson in the 1660 formation of Bergen, which would become the first permanent European settlement in the territory of the modern state of New Jersey.
