Primary targets relate directly to greenhouse gas emissions. For example:
Reduce net greenhouse gas emissions from landfills by 75% by 2015.

Secondary targets support the achievement of primary targets. For example:

• General
  • Establish an energy management committee
  • Supply half of the electricity used in municipal buildings from renewable sources.
• Energy
  • Work with businesses to retrofit 5 percent of warehouses with solar thermal technology (hot water heating) in the next two years.
• Water
  • Adopt water conservation design guidelines in two years.  
  • Reduce electricity consumed at pump stations by 5 percent in one year.
• Wastewater
  • Phase out systems with significant negative effects on climate change.
  • Reduce electricity consumed by the wastewater treatment plant by 20 percent in five years.
  • Work with businesses to establish three new wastewater cascading/heat recovery partnerships in the next two years.
• Solid Waste
  • Work with the recycling industry to increase the amount of local processing, reducing the miles recyclables must travel for processing
