The Town of Nantucket’s Climate Action Plan is still open for public comment. The Town is seeking suggestions for additions to the Plan that include as yet unexplored, or creative ways to help us reduce our overall carbon emissions as a community.
In March 2009, the Nantucket Board of Selectmen set a greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reduction target for the island of 10% below 2000 levels by 2020. The Town’s Climate Action Plan (CAP) considers strategies the town and the community can implement in order to achieve this goal. The plan considers efficiency, conservation and new technologies across four sectors: transportation, heating, electricity and waste management. We have a greater chance of achieving our goal if the community participates in the drafting process by providing feedback and ideas. Submit your suggestions and be part of the solution!
