INTRODUCTION
The Carlisle Select Board established the town's Environmental Sustainability Committee (ESC) in August 2022. Building on Carlisle’s Master Plan -- along with its Path to Zero Emissions Report, Hazard Mitigation Plan and Open Space and Recreation Plan -- the ESC has developed an ambitious, multi-year work plan that describes municipal efforts, as well as an outreach program to help our residents, businesses, and institutions reach our common sustainability goals.
Our primary focus is to help Carlisleans decarbonize their lifestyle, and to encourage them to support and regenerate the natural environment. The ESC assists the town government, departments, committees and school to be leaders in the transition to a more sustainable, green community. We collaborate with local, regional and national organizations to endorse the changes being made in like-minded communities around the globe.
We encourage everyone to join us in our effort. We can only achieve this goal by working together.
