Municipal Sustainability Checklist
The Metrowest node of 350 Massachusetts has organized a spreadsheet to evaluate carbon emissions and levels of municipal sustainability. While a work-in-progress, it provides a framework to evaluate the carbon footprint of municipalities and their efforts to become sustainable. We have gotten input for 7 towns in our region (Acton, Ashland, Framingham, Marlborough, Stow, Sudbury and Wayland) and we have Natick and Holliston in process. We are trying to do 22 towns in the Massachusetts Metropolitan Area Planning Council (MAPC) MWRC/MAGIC regions. We plan to present our results this fall to MAPC and other interested organizations. We still need people in the following towns to help survey their towns: Southborough, Bedford, Bolton, Boxborough, Carlisle, Concord, Hudson, Lexington, Lincoln, Littleton, and Maynard.
The process is easy, but takes a couple of hours of time. If you live outside this region and want to use this checklist for your town, pls let us know!
