What kind of a town do you want to live in?
Sustainable Westport asked several dozen residents, of all ages.
They said they want to live in a place that:
- Protects the natural environment
- Provides green space for all
- Enhances renewable energy
- Promotes composting
- Teaches kids how to garden
- Embraces bike riding
- Focuses on sustainability
- Eliminates single-use plastics
- Works toward its net-zero commitment
- Supports farmers
- Honors trees
- Cares about the future.
Is that too much to ask?
Those answers — part of a video shot against a backdrop of water — form the heart of the environmental organization’s Community Giving Challenge.
The goal is to inspire 250 residents to invest “invest in the town we all want to live in,” and make the vision expressed by our neighbors in the video a reality.
“Every single Westporter has a role to play in shaping Westport’s future,” Sustainable Westport says.
“Your gift, no matter the amount, will power our mission to inspire, support and connect residents, organizations, and the town of Westport in making both small changes and big commitments toward a healthier, more sustainable future.”
The fund drive kicks off December 1. But you can “seed” it now. Click here to give.
