The Hawthorne Green Team, a subcommittee of the Hawthorne Environmental Commission, was established in January 2009 to develop and implement sustainable projects for the community.
Statement of Purpose
The goals of the Green Map are:
• develop a map of Hawthorne that provides safe walking or biking routes for residents;
• promote awareness of the routes throughout the community;
• encourage citizens to use the paths for exercise and for buying local goods and services;
• create community awareness of traffic laws (i.e., yielding to pedestrians in walkways).
