The goal of our Climate Initiative is to reduce our community’s overall carbon emissions. Reduction of Nantucket’s carbon emissions will provide multiple economic benefits by creating cost reductions through:
- Increased energy efficiency
- Development of renewable energy and reduced dependency on fossil fuels
- Reduced traffic congestion & pollution benefiting tourist economy and downtown revitalization
- Increased availability of locally-grown & produced food & specialty products, benefiting local food
producers and distributors - Potential for economic benefits through eco-tourism and agri-tourism
