SOUTH WINDSOR â The chairman of the townâs Energy Committee said this week heâs hopeful that by 2023 all town buildings and schools will get its electricity from carbon-free sources only, saving taxpayers about $7.7 million over 20 years, and making the town one of the first in the state to achieve such an undertaking.
Lynn Stoddard, executive director of Sustainable CT, a program to support and recognize sustainable actions by municipalities in the state, said that the town would certainly be one of the first in Connecticut to implement such a goal in roughly a two-year time frame.
âWe think it is a very laudable goal and important for the state and all the towns and businesses to be setting high goals for clean energy in light of the climate crisis,â she said.
SOUTH WINDSOR â The project manager for the stateâs Racial Profiling Prohibition Project will lead an online discussion tonight on implicit bias.
âWe are hoping as a group that we will come away with an understanding that everyone absorbs a biased perspective in one way or another just by their family culture or their own life experience, and that bias has more to do with a cultured perspective than a negative slant,â said Mary Etter, the director of South Windsor Library, one of the sponsors of the program.
The library in collaboration with the Human Relations Commission and the Town Council’s Black Lives Subcommittee on Social Justice and Equality has planned the event at 7:30, which will be streamed live on Cox channel 6, Frontier channel 6082, and on gmedia.swagit.com/live, as one of a series of programs on social justice and racial equity.
