Darien sustainability committee presents Equity Toolkit work for Sustainable CT recertification
Summary
Amanda presented the committee's 2025 Sustainable CT recertification submission centered on an Equity Toolkit, describing senior and youth program activities — surveys, a cultural map of senior resources, youth workshops and a tipsheet — and urged broader community engagement for ongoing 2026 toolkit updates.
Amanda (Advisory Committee on Sustainability) summarized the committee's 2025 Sustainable CT recertification materials, focusing on Equity Toolkit work. For the Senior Program the committee surveyed and interviewed senior residents and produced a cultural map showing available resources; for the Youth Program the committee surveyed youth, hosted training and awareness workshops, and created a tipsheet.
Amanda said these program materials and follow-through actions were packaged and submitted for recertification. She noted that Sustainable CT's Equity Toolkit has been updated for 2026 and recommended forming a multi-faceted group to help implement toolkit actions, identifying opportunities tied to Great Island development, school food waste initiatives, Green Wave, and Town Beautification.
No formal vote was held on the recertification materials during the meeting; the committee noted next steps and continued outreach as part of implementation planning.
