Sustainability in Silverthorne
|
|
The Town of Silverthorne is upping its sustainability game and is creating it's first sustainability strategic plan! Silverthorne's sustainability plan will center on five focus areas:
- Energy, to ensure that we use energy wisely, produce it responsibly, and ensure that our energy is always reliable, clean and affordable
- Water, to conserve the precious water source that we have relied on throughout our history, even as more people come here to live, work and recreate
- Materials, to minimize the waste we produce and extend the life of the Summit County Landfill
- Mobility, so that we have more options than driving alone in a car to go where we want when we want, in ways that make travel convenient, healthy and enjoyable
- Greenhouse gas reduction, to do our part to prevent the worst harms that rapid human-induced climate change can do to our mountain environment and economy
As part of the strategic plan process, the Town wants to hear from community members on sustainability in Silverthorne. Complete the following survey and share your thoughts on how Silverthorne can go green. The sustainability survey is open through Friday, April 19 and takes approximately five minutes to complete.
