1 SUSTAIN CHARLOTTE Wilmore Neighborhood Sustainable Vision Plan
2 Using Your Plan This Sustainable Vision Plan is being provided as a living document to help your neighborhood become more environmentally, socially, and economically sustainable. It is a compilation of the neighborhood s three most important sustainability goals, as identified and voted on by your residents during the visioning workshop process. For each of your three primary sustainability goals, we have listed the long-term goal, an initial target (short-term goal), and an initial strategy, which is a tangible action to get started. Each goal is accompanied by a list of ideas to get you started. These are listed with the easiest to implement ideas at the top. A list of community resources available to help you reach each goal is also provided. When you contact representatives from these departments and programs, you should ask if they can suggest any other helpful resources for you. The availability of resources changes rapidly, so it s always a good idea to ask the experts! (Links may need to be copied and pasted into a web browser.) At the bottom of the plan, you ll find a list of ideas that you and your neighbors contributed during the brainstorming phase of our visioning process. The list is sorted by the six sustainability issues we asked you to consider, but we ve left the ideas in their original unedited form to remind you of exactly what you shared with us. We invite you to refer to them often, add to them, and be inspired to pursue some ideas on this list beyond your top three goals. Contact at Sustain Charlotte: Meg Fencil Education and Outreach Program Director meg.fencil@sustaincharlotte.org (704) Please keep us informed about your neighborhood s progress towards your goals! You are always welcome to contact us if you have questions or need help deciding how to take the next step. We are also available to discuss ideas you have for adding additional goals or extending the scope of your existing goals to the next level in partnership with Sustain Charlotte.
3 1 Long-term Goal #1: Increase access to healthy locally-produced foods. Construction and maintenance of a community edible walkway for residents and visitors. Build an edible walkway with at least 20 resident volunteers participating. Ideas to get you started: Build on the success of the edible walkway by continuing to recruit volunteers, organize workdays, reach out to the media.. Invite children to participate in growing and harvesting produce in the edible walkway. Organize an list or database of home gardeners who are willing to share excess produce. Start container gardens on porches or patios to give residents with small yards access to fresh produce. Tomatoes, cucumbers, zucchini, squash, herbs, etc. can all be grown easily in pots, gutter installations, pallet gardens or other vertical gardening methods. Be creative. Plan a network of backyard gardens hosted by homeowners. Coordinate the planting, harvest, and sharing of produce among participating gardeners. Invite apartment dwellers to participate. Host a community potluck meal or use the internet or to share recipes that feature seasonal foods and ingredients. At the event, share community knowledge about gardening and canning, freezing, or preserving seasonal fruits and vegetables. Establish a weekly carpool or vanpool to a farmers market or store that sells local food; ask for volunteers with large-capacity vehicles to be drivers. Offer to deliver orders for residents to reduce the amount of driving needed. Label plants in gardens to help children identify what can be grown locally. Organize weekly, monthly, or quarterly community garden work days, depending on the season to ensure that gardens stay well maintained. Start an inventory of tools throughout the community and create a community tool-share for use in a gardening and elsewhere. In addition to the existing vocational garden, start a community garden in a centrally located area. Ask businesses, churches or neighbors to allow access to land that isn t currently being used. Community Resources Available Mecklenburg County s List of Farmers s Markets MCFVC/Pages/FarmersMarkets.aspx Sow Much Good Helps provide organic foods to all populations at below market value and creates opportunities for individuals to take part in the development of local, sustainable food source creation.

Long-term Goal #1: Increase access to healthy locally-produced foods. Construction and maintenance of a community edible walkway for residents and visitors. Build an edible walkway with at least 20 resident volunteers participating. Residents discussed the sustainability needs of Wilmore and wrote down their ideas.
5 Long-term Goal #2: Reduce littering on our streets and encourage recycling. Add a network of trash cans to neighborhood streets. Install a solar-powered compactor or highcapacity traditional trash can in the neighborhood. Map where existing trash cans are and identify where littering is worst. Request a meeting with Solid Waste Services staff to share your findings and to ask if more trash cans can be added. Coordinate with school staff to involve children in cleaning the school grounds as part of a neighborhood pride service activity. 2Ideas to get you started: Register for the Great American Cleanup (March 1 - May 31) to let Mecklenburg County know how you re planning to clean your neighborhood. Submit photos and a story about the cleanup so it can be shared with the wider community: px For neighborhood sports and recreation events, purchase reusable water bottles and refill them from a large cooler. It saves money in the long-term, and keeps disposable bottles out of the landfill. Carry your groceries in reusable grocery bags. When you must use plastic bags, return them to the store to be recycled. (They are not accepted in curbside recycling). Request for volunteers to be Recycling Captains to send out a reminder each week on the day before recycling collection will occur in single-family home neighborhoods. Call 311 or or see the calendar at: Encourage neighbors to dispose of yard waste and recyclables separately from garbage. Host a recycling education event at the NGSC center and include hands-on demonstrations about how to sort recyclables. Invite a County recycling representative to give a presentation at a neighborhood meeting: Have residents bring used batteries, CFL light bulbs, and plastic bags to community events for collection. Have a neighborhood volunteer take these items to a recycling facility or business that properly disposes of the items (see resource list below). Hold a neighborhood swap shop event where people exchange reusable items that they no longer need or want. Arrange for any unwanted items to be donated, recycled, or properly disposed of. Contact Salvation Army, Goodwill, or another thrift store to arrange a community-wide donation pick up day.

7 3 Long-term Goal #3: Make the neighborhood a safer and easier place to walk and bike. Provide more infrastructure for walking and biking (benches, bike racks) Install a bike rack in the neighborhood. Ideas to get you started: Take advantage of Wilmore s urban location to show residents how easy it is to walk, bike, or use transit instead of driving. Create a map of destinations and routes, and make this available online to residents and visitors. Promote Wilmore s new edible walkway as a local tourist destination via a website that includes active transportation directions for visiting. Identify and assign bike mentors to help neighbors plan safe and efficient routes to services, work, or select locations. Share these notes with the neighborhood. Challenge residents in your neighborhood to have an alternative or sustainable transportation day. Show them how easy and safe it is to ride the bus or light rail, walk, or bike. Consider offering prizes such as transit passes or biking/walking gear. Walk through the neighborhood to identify hazards or obstacles that make it difficult to access bus stops, walk, or bike. Work with the City (using resources mentioned below) to remove these obstacles. Obtain schedules for neighborhood bus routes and light rail. Make these available to residents at local recreation centers and service organizations. Identify safe routes for children to walk or bike to and from school. Younger children can be accompanied by parents. Arrange for a small group of parents to share this responsibility. Talk to your employer to see if they offer reduced transit passes, bike parking facilities, or other amenities that would make a car-free commute easier for employees. If not, let them know that this important to you. Community Resources Available Trips For Kids This nonprofit organization will teach children how to ride a bike for the first time.
