Sustainability

The Simsbury Sustainability Committee (SSC) is a consolidated group consisting of the Clean Energy Committee, originally formed as the Clean Energy Task Force in 2008, and the former Sustainability Team.

The purpose of the Simsbury Sustainability Committee is to:

• Advise the Board of Selectmen and Board of Education on sustainability policy for the Town and Public Schools, including the preparation and maintenance of a Clean Energy Plan;
• Collaborate with the Simsbury Department of Public Works and Public Schools to provide education and resources to Simsbury residents and officials regarding sustainability initiatives and efforts;
• Promote community awareness of programs and services to those who are interested in sustainable actions that can be done at their homes and businesses;
• Support Simsbury’s certification efforts in the Sustainable CT program; and
• Provide recommendations to the Board of Selectmen and Board of Education on long term energy or sustainable goals or initiatives for the Town and Public Schools to consider pursuing.
