Scenario
The community of Greenburg is located near sea level at the base of a snow-capped mountain, on a secluded ocean inlet, surrounded by rugged, forested land. The only access to the city is by ferry or plane; no roads connect it to other communities in the region. Winters are wet, mild, and long. The city serves as the capital for the state of Newbridge. As such, government agencies are its leading employer, though tourism is also a major source of income, followed by commercial fishing. The city is renowned for its scenic beauty; tall mountains capped by glaciers can be seen from downtown.

· Specific steps to move the city toward sustainable energy production (e.g., solar facilities/greenhouses/community food production)

A sustainable energy plan is a set of guidelines that describes how your organization will develop and use energy. It’s a way to make sure that you’re using the right kind of energy, while also minimizing its impact on the environment and human health.
A sustainable energy plan is a plan that is designed to meet the needs of your organization. It can be built around the needs of your organization, or it can build on what you already do in order to become more efficient and reduce costs. The idea behind this type of strategy is that by developing an integrated approach to sustainability, companies will be able to better manage their resources and achieve greater success in both financial and social terms.
The first step in developing a sustainable energy plan is to start with a vision. A good question to ask yourself is, “What is my vision for the future?”
Next, define the problem. What are we trying to solve?
Then define the goal (what does success look like). What are we trying to achieve and why do we want it? This will help you determine how much time, money and effort need be invested into this project so that it’s worth pursuing or not pursuing at all.
When a company decides to use renewable energy, they must also consider how much it will cost. The cost of energy refers to the total amount of money spent on solar or wind power. This can include not only electricity but also other forms of energy like biofuels and geothermal heating systems.
The cost of energy for the environment refers to how much money is spent on pollution caused by burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) that have been extracted from underground deposits such as coal seams or undersea oil wells instead of being recycled into usable materials through recycling programs like those run by local governments across America today!
The final category I’ll discuss here is called “costs”. They’re what you pay when you buy something—whether it’s groceries at Walmart Superstore or tickets online via Ticketmaster — but here there’s no buying involved: These costs are represented by dollars rather than prices because we’re talking about taxes imposed upon us by our government which drives up consumer prices everywhere around us.”
A sustainable energy plan should include social considerations. Social considerations are important for any organization because they help ensure that the organization is pursuing its mission, vision, and values in ways that support society and the environment.
In addition to considering these goals in your sustainable energy plan:
Environmental considerations are the impact of energy use on the environment, human health and animal welfare. The economic impacts include both direct costs (such as buying electricity from a power station) and indirect costs (such as lost productivity).
A sustainable energy plan can be built around the needs of your organization.
A sustainable energy plan can be built around the needs of your customers.
A sustainable energy plan can be built around the needs of your employees.
A sustainable energy plan can be built around the needs of your community
The bottom line is that if you’re looking to build a sustainable energy plan for your organization, there are many things to consider. First and foremost, you need to understand the needs of your organization. After that, it really comes down to how much time, money and effort do you have in mind? If you have a good idea of what that would look like then building a sustainable energy plan could be an easy choice.
