Hello Friends of Sustainable CT!
On the heels of a successful soft launch of Sustainable CT in November, now we need you. What’s YOUR vision for sustainable towns and cities in our state? We would like to invite you to attend one or more regional forums in January 2017. Please REGISTER for one or more of the following forums:
- Tuesday, January 10th, 1:00 – 2:30 p.m., Brookfield Town Hall (Room 133)
- Thursday, January 19th, 11:00 – 12:30 p.m., Middlesex Community College (Multipurpose rooms 808C and D), Middletown
- Thursday, January 19th, 7:00 – 8:30 p.m., West Hartford Town Hall (Room 400)

- Friday, January 27th, 9:00 – 10:30 a.m., Seymour Town Hall
Forums are free, open to all, and organized by the Institute for Sustainable Energy at Eastern Connecticut State University, in partnership with Connecticut’s nine councils of governments.
Sustainable CT will be a robust certification program that includes: (1) A road map for towns and cities with a menu of voluntary actions intended to make communities healthier, safe, resilient, efficient, and livable; (2) A flexible design that meets the needs of all municipalities (urban, rural, large, small); (3) Resources and support, including funding, to help municipalities implement actions; and (4) Public recognition for municipal sustainability achievements. You can learn more at www.sustainablect.org, or by watching our short video or webinar.
Sustainable CT is a partnership of municipal leaders, philanthropic foundations, the Institute for Sustainable Energy, and other stakeholders. The Connecticut Conference of Municipalities’ Task Force on Sustainability developed a vision and recommended program framework. Three Connecticut-based foundations are providing funding to develop Sustainable CT: Emily Hall Tremaine Foundation, Common Sense Fund, and the Hampshire Foundation. The Institute for Sustainable Energy is leading and coordinating program development and providing technical support.
Thank you for your partnership, participation, and for inviting your colleagues to attend Sustainable CT’s January 2017 Regional Forums!
