SUSTAINABLE JERSEY - What is a Green Team?
http://www.sustainablejersey.com/support-us/volunteer/green-team/:

Green Teams provide

the leadership to develop plans, implement programs and assist with educational opportunities that support the creation of a sustainable community.

The Mayor and City Council formally establish a Green Team and appoint members by resolution or ordinance. Green Teams differ from conservancy boards, environmental committees, and planning commissions because the focus is on completing actions required for Sustainable Jersey certification. All communities participating in the Sustainable Jersey program must establish a Green Team.

Members of a Green Team are usually appointed from municipal staff and departments, elected officials, and volunteer members of community boards and commissions (Environmental Commission, Shade Tree, Economic Development, Health and Welfare Boards, Arts and Recreation, Planning and Zoning, Historic, Agricultural and Open Space, Senior Citizens). Communities also invite representatives from schools including educators, school board members, parent-teacher organizations, school staff, as well as students. Local businesses, chambers of commerce, academic institutions, civic organizations, faith-based groups, and community residents are also important partners in municipal sustainability efforts.
