Chair Sara Connor reviewed the committee's recent accomplishments and said Sustainable Deep River is aiming to meet a 'Climate Leader' goal that is due in August. She noted that once a goal is achieved the committee must submit the next goal within three years.
Connor also urged members to attend a River COG meeting on Jan. 28 that will involve multiple towns coordinating on a regional waste crisis. She described the meeting as an opportunity for towns to "pull their towns together to solve the waste crisis that affects us all" and encouraged broad participation; the meeting time was not announced in the minutes.
The committee discussed prospective 2026 activities month-by-month and flagged volunteer-driven items such as the "Warriors in Community" river clean-up (Lenore to check permissions with 'Train' and VRHS) and options for Christmas tree pick-up or recycling. Specific funding, formal commitments, and implementation details were not recorded in the minutes.
