<br />Annie Hughes <br /> <br />Vision: <br /> <br />To make Louisville No.1 in Sustainability <br /> <br />Long Term Goals: <br /> <br />. Energy Independence <br />. Localization offood supply <br />. Clean air <br />. Clean water <br />. Non-polluting transportation <br />. All refuse either recycled or composted <br /> <br />Short Term Goals: <br /> <br />. Eliminate plastic shopping bags, either by outright ban (San Francisco) or tax <br />(Ireland) <br />. Mandatory green building code for all new builds and remodels, including <br />residential, commercial, nonproft, and government <br />. Photovoltaics on every usable roof surface on all residential, commercial, and <br />nonprofit and government buildings <br />. Increase landfill diversion rate to 75% through public outreach, training. <br />. Recycling of all refuse in public buildings and at public events <br /> <br />Here is input I've received from citizens: <br /> <br />Keep the quality of life that Louisville offers high with items like preserving <br />open space, a sense of community through events like the street faires, not too much <br />traffic, a commitment to sustainability and energy conservation. <br /> <br />More specifically: <br /> <br />Update the rec center by adding an outdoor pool which is more appropriate for <br />younger kids. It does not meet my needs currently and I am a member of the YMCA <br />in lafayette and love it. I would happily join the Louisville Rec Center if it offered <br />what I need (more comprehensive childcare, lower cost and better facilities). <br /> <br />From my point of view Louisville has not done a good job amracting "destination" <br />businesses, like Costco. There is a ring of commerce around Louisville (in Lafayette <br />and Superior) which keeps Louisville from bringing in the type of businesses that <br />people frequent on a regular basis (Walmart, Costco, Whole Foods, etc) and <br />generate tax revenue. Why doesn't Louisville try to go after something like Trader <br />
