- JOINT ENVIRONMENTAL POLICY FOR THE CITY AREA TO 2012 “ A joint environmental policy directs the activities of the municipalities/city and their businesses and corporations in environmental issues. Management of environmental issues is part of good housekeeping, and its continuous improvement will ensure that the municipalities/city promote environmental issues and sustainable development as pioneers. The implementation of environmental policy will be monitored and reported to local residents, decision-makers and various other interest groups. The environmental policy also realises the municipal strategies approved by municipal councils. The policy’s environmental objectives, to be implemented by maintaining the environmental programme approved by the municipal boards, include the following: - To implement climate change control procedures and prepare for risks resulting from this change - To protect quality of life and health in residential environments and settings as well as the diversity of nature - To safeguard the quality and quantity of groundwater and uphold the recreational and natural values of waterways - To provide resources for the distribution of up-to-date environmental information and increase the residents’ opportunities to act on behalf of their environment The municipal and city leadership as well as business and corporate directors are responsible for the implementation of the environmental policy within their own organisations. An additional goal is for all employees and staff representatives to be aware of their own responsible role in environmental matters. Implementation of the environmental policy will be integrated in the functions of the various municipal units. At every level of decision-making, the effects of decisions on environmental goals will be monitored. Hollola, Lahti and Nastola, together with their residents, businesses, organisations and other interest groups, will work for the good of the common environment.”

- Usually we are doing quite well when we ask decision makers to decide on visions, objectives and targets. But when we ask actual recourses to implement these targets we too often end up in business as usual decisions.
