Electric generation This sector, which accounts for 18 percent of statewide GHGs, has goals of achieving 12.2 GW of in-state solar generation by 2030; facilitating the integration of clean distributed energy sources into the grid; and supporting the development of 11.0 GW of offshore wind by 2040. The Plan proposes an array of actions in pursuit of those goals. Food waste Food waste in NJ comprises 22 percent of total municipal waste and a top priority is to "achieve a 50 percent reduction in food waste by 2030." This is accompanied by a suite of local government actions: 1) update district soil waste management plans to include food waste reduction; 2) encourage schools to adopt the New Jersey School Food Waste Guidelines and institute a food waste reduction curriculum in K-12 schools; 3) implement a community-scale reusable foodware system pilot; 4) support food waste recovery systems, such as anaerobic digesters and co-digestion of food waste at wastewater treatment facilities; and 5) implement local and regional composting programs. SUSTAINABLY PRINTED ON RECYCLED PAPER The Plan also includes funding opportunities to match the implementation goals. This is just a taste of the analysis, goals and recommendations you will find in this inspiring guidance document. Not only does it tell you which sectors need attention first, but it provides a menu of solutions and a variety of funding options to help make your community's goals a reality.
