Appreciation and respect for the natural environment of northern New Mexico has long been a cultural value shared by the residents of Los Alamos County. In 2005, the Los Alamos County Council recognized the public’s desire to preserve this environmental amenity through the adoption of “maintain environmental quality” as one of its six core goals.
The County created the Environmental Sustainability Initiative (ESI) in March 2008. This initiative narrowed the County’s focus from the broad concept of sustainability to eight focus areas:

4) Water
5) Land use
6) Economic development
7) Education and outreach
8) Measurement and reporting
