301658621Town of BlacksburgBlacksburgUSANorth America2017PublicFood and AgricultureEncourage sustainable food production and consumption0Emissions associated with food systems were not part of our original GHG inventory, nevertheless, food systems and choices clearly have a large environmental and GHG impact and were therefore included in our planning process. We have a goal to increase the proportion of local food produced and consumed 25% by 2020 and 45% by 2050.(37.2296°, -80.4139°)(37.09024°, -95.712891°)
301758621Town of BlacksburgBlacksburgUSANorth America2017PublicCommunity-Scale DevelopmentGreen space and/ or biodiversity preservation and expansion0Emissions associated with green space preservation were not part of our original GHG inventory, nevertheless, land use changes clearly have a large environmental and GHG impact and were therefore included in our planning process. In our Land Use chapter, we have a goal to increase the amount of regionally conserved land 30% by 2020 and 100% by 2050. We set and additional goal of increasing our community's urban canopy 30% by 2020 and 100% by 2050. To accomplish the later, we have already instituted a municipal 1:2 tree replacement policy (whenever a tree has to be removed from a municipal property, we have committed to replacing it with 2 new trees).(37.2296°, -80.4139°)(37.09024°, -95.712891°)

302658621Town of BlacksburgBlacksburgUSANorth America2017PublicCommunity-Scale DevelopmentCompact cities0To avoid double-counting, I have not included an emissions reduction number for this activity since the strategies associated with it can be found across three chapters of our CAP: residential, transportation and land use. Furthermore, our Land Use chapter has a goal to increase our proportion of measurable "Compact and Complete Community Centers" 50% by 2020 and 200% by 2050.(37.2296°, -80.4139°)(37.09024°, -95.712891°)
302758621Town of BlacksburgBlacksburgUSANorth America2017PublicWasteRecyclables and organics separation from other waste0We do not have specific emissions reduction targets set for this action, however, our CAP has the following goals and indicators: Reduce Household Waste to Landfill 15% by 2020 and 45% by 2050; Increase proportion of recycling relative to landfill waste 20% by 2020 and 120% by 2050.(37.2296°, -80.4139°)(37.09024°, -95.712891°)
302858621Town of BlacksburgBlacksburgUSANorth America2017PublicCommunity-Scale DevelopmentBrownfield redevelopment programs0We have not calculated the GHG emissions reduction potential of brownfield redevelopment, but have made it a priority practice for our community. In 2009, the Town of Blacksburg completed a brownfield redevelopment of a highly contaminated property and returned it to productive use to create additional municipal offices. This brownfield redevelopment project including restoration of the historic building on the site garnered a LEED platinum rating.(37.2296°, -80.4139°)(37.09024°, -95.712891°)
302958621Town of BlacksburgBlacksburgUSANorth America2017PublicWasteRecycling or composting collections and/or facilities0We have significantly expanded the recycling options available to residents and businesses alike - in 2015, we made the conversion the single-stream curbside recycling and tripled the volume of the household recycling carts (which has resulted in a 30% increase in recycling volume), we have built two separate recycling corrals that serve businesses in the downtown area, we have entered into a electronics recycling partnership with the local YMCA (residential drop off for all household electronics, CFLs, and batteries), and we are in the process of significantly expanding the stringency of our apartment recycling ordinance and construction standards for new multifamily construction. see also 2020 and 2050 targets for waste reduction and recycling.(37.2296°, -80.4139°)(37.09024°, -95.712891°)
