On November 17, 2010 the Nantucket Board of Selectmen met to determine adoption of the Climate Plan. The result of this meeting was a decision to take some time for the Nantucket Planning and Economic Development Commission to further develop the Plan, and present that plan for review at the February, 2011 Commission meeting. If approved, it will be referred to the Selectmen for their approval/adoption. The Selectmen affirmed their commitment to adopt a plan during the current fiscal year-by June 30, 2011. We will keep you posted on further developments.

An Update on the Climate Action Plan
Wednesday, January 5th, 2011Welcome to Our New Web Site
Friday, July 9th, 2010Greetings All -
You may have noticed a big change to our web site recently – we’re looking a lot more “current”, but we’ve also made some changes aimed at making out site easier to use.
This new site features improved navigation tools and interactive elements like “current news” on our home page, an events calendar, workshop listings, and for our Farmers & Artisans Market, in-season features like a produce guide, vendor profiles, weekly vendor lists and more. Our Programs – the Nantucket Farmers and Artisans Market, Community Agriculture Program, Climate Initiative, and the Sustainable Nantucket Youth Council – are clearly highlighted and defined in the new format.
The intent behind the redesign was to provide visitors to the site with an interactive, user-friendly way to stay connected to our organization and our Programs on a regular basis. Here at Sustainable Nantucket, we have ongoing projects and programs aimed at supporting and enhancing the community, economy and overall quality of life on the island. We hear the response from you, our members, the seasonal and year round community on Nantucket, and visitors to the island that the mission of our organization is important to you, and we know you are looking for a way to stay informed of our efforts and progress. This new web site is our key to maintaining that connection with you.
The web site redesign is the product of a collaborative effor between SN staff and long-time Sustainable Nantucket supporter: Novation Media, the design and computer business owned and operated by Al and Mary Novissimo. Novation Media went above and beyond to design a completely new template for us, based on our highly detailed specifications. They worked overtime to meet our deadline and to coach us through the setup process. We are so grateful for their energy and efforts.
You will notice this site features many photos, the use of which was generously given by islanders Greg Hinson, Cary Hazelgrove, Rob Benchley, Mitch Blake and Kelly Knight. Local restaurants and growers provide recipes that are featured in the Farmers & Artisans Market section, and Dane Decarlo of Perennial Gardens provides the bi-monthly seasonal produce guide. We plan to invite more community involvement in the site in the future with the introduction of  ”guest bloggers” on specific topics relating to our mission.
Please browse and enjoy, and please let us know if you have any feedback or questions.
Sincerely,
Michelle Whelan
Executive Director, Sustainable Nantucket
