What is the Sustainability Hub?
The Sustainability Hub online “webtool” is Sustainable San Mateo County’s newest community resource. Building upon the success of our long-standing Indicators Report, this new community website will be your one-stop hub to find and share solutions and resources to make your life, business and community more sustainable. The Sustainability Hub will illustrate the connections between what is happening and how we can make improvements. It will include a host of features, all designed to help communities implement sustainable programs by turning intent into action.
