The mission of Sustainable Westport is to become a Net Zero community by the year 2050 or sooner, where the community has reduced its impacts across energy, water and waste so that they are sustainably managed, using approaches that are economically viable, of social benefit, and environmentally responsible. Sustainable Westport advises the First Selectman, town commissions, and departments on determining and setting environmental policy and decisions for the purpose of transforming Westport into a sustainable green community. Sustainable Westport will educate, encourage and assist Westport residents, businesses, and the town to adopt sustainable practices consistent with this purpose. Five Pillars of Net Zero Goal: * Aware and engaged community * Efficient, comfortable, well-run buildings and physical infrastructure * Reliable, resilient, renewable energy * Clean and convenient choices for transportation * Responsible stewards of land and natural resources
