Sustainability Man Photo compliments of the City of Burnsville.What’s “faster than compost … more powerful than an LED light bulb” and able to teach residents and schoolchildren about recycling, lawn watering and native gardens? It’s Sustainability Man, of course!
Sustainability Man is the city of Burnsville’s superhero, video star and alter-alter-ego of communications coordinator Marty Doll.
The character came into being a couple of years after the Burnsville City Council approved a sustainability plan in 2009.
“After being scratched by radioactive buckthorn, bitten by a radioactive emerald ash borer and periodically slipping and falling into radioactive recycling bins, mild-mannered Johnny Burnsville was transformed into Sustainability Man.”
Johnny Burnsville wears horn-rimmed glasses, a plaid shirt and pants pulled up way too high. The superhero emerges in a Green Lantern Halloween costume with a customized logo, tall black boots and a black mask.
“We do have a sustainability webpage, but sometimes if you take certain issues like greenhouse gas emissions or other kinds of issues, it’s hard to explain that or when it does get explained it’s not very engaging,” said Sue Bast, the city’s sustainability coordinator.
Cue campy sound effects and an even campier costume, enlist Doll, 32, a broadcast journalism major in college, and Sustainabililty Man was born.- From the June 23, 2015 Mpls Star Tribune article by Pat Pheifer.

Burnsville Communities for a lifetime report 2016This City Profile was prepared by Dakota County’s Communities for a Lifetime (CFL) Initiative—an initiative engaging community members and leaders in the private and public sectors to create accessible, supportive Communities for a Lifetime that enable people to lead active vital lives. Dakota County and individual cities work together in many areas to make communities more age-friendly. We work together on housing, public safety, transportation, workforce issues, and many other areas.
In 2014, 12.3% of Burnsville residents were 65 and older. However, this age group will grow substantially over the next 20 years, as members of the much larger boomer cohort age. The boomer age group (in 2014) represents about one quarter of the Burnsville population (24.2 %). According to AARP, since 1990, roughly 90% of older Americans have stayed in the county they’ve been living in, if not the very same home. Is Burnsville prepared for Boomers to age in place in the community?

2007- 2008 Sustainability Guide (111 pages)The City of Burnsville completed a year long sustainability review as part of its governance process in 2007. The process included input from a broad array of experts and stakeholders. By the end of the process, the city developed 14 priority areas of
sustainability called Best Practices Areas (BPA).During 2008, city staff worked with a consultant team to develop a more detailed sustainability guide plan based on the 14 BPA's.
The guide plan provides practical ideas, activities and strategies for the city organization and the community that would make Burnsville more sustainable in future years. The Sustainability
Guide Plan is aligned with the city’s environmental end statement and the Council’s commitment to sustainability, which states: ―The City of Burnsville will promote development that maintains or enhances economic opportunity and community well
being while protecting and restoring the natural environment upon which people and economies depend. Sustainability meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of
future generations to meet their own needs.
