About

Essex is one of the world’s special places. As residents we are all stewards of its unique natural and architectural landscape. All of us now have the opportunity to make positive decisions about how we will live in a way that will have a beneficial sustainable effect on our community. We need to promote a broad menu of sustainability practices that aim to ensure the health and well-being of current and future residents while respecting the finite capacity of the natural environment. The Sustainable Essex Committee is comprised of a group of residents concerned about climate change,have worked to ensure a clean, sustainable and cost-effective energy future for Essex. The Sustainable Essex Committee will focus on strategies to balance environmental protection, economic development, and social objectives to meet the needs of today without compromising the quality of life for future generations.
