Provide a description of the industry, geography, development pattern, weather, and population demographics of your hometown

You will be evaluating the potential of different sustainability strategies as they apply to your home town (e.g. city, town, village). The purpose of this essay is to demonstrate an understanding of the different methods/technologies that are available and how they can be applied to a specific location based upon the opportunities and constraints presented by that site.
You will be graded based upon (1) the quality of your writing (2) effort in describing your home town in a fashion relevant to decision making and (3) the strength of your logic/rationale in evaluating the suitability of different strategies.
