Pennington Council pledges to become carbon neutral in all operations by 2035
The resolution was approved by the council during a meeting on March 1.
The borough’s environmental commission will help guide officials in the process.
“Just want to add that the environmental commission fully supports this initiative and is excited to lead this effort,” Council President Catherine Chandler said. “I think, without a doubt, this is the right move for Pennington Borough and I hope it leads the way for other boroughs to follow.”
According to the resolution, the environmental commission will be responsible for reporting to the council on an annual basis the amount of carbon released by the borough and the amount of carbon offset (reduction in emissions).
