Our Committee was established in 2008 to assist the Town in developing cost effective, sustainable practices that will aid town government, existing and future business, and residents. The Committee reorganized in 2020 with renewed energy and focus. Some of current focus areas include:
Net zero carbon emissions declaration and climate action plan
Municipal aggregation plan for the purchase of sustainably produced electricity at reduced group rates
Improvements in recycling and composting
Reduction of the use of plastic, styrofoam, and pesticides
Visibility events and other opportunities for education and advocacy
We look forward to working with the town, businesses, and residents to promote sustainability throughout Hopkinton. To find out more, use this website and the resources on it. We also welcome your input - see Your Participation for more.
