What You Can Do To Make Milford More Sustainable

The information below were some thoughts Alan Brewster (who spoke at the May 17th ECC meeting) had about how the ECC could work to make Milford more sustainable.

  1. Get Milford to accept more materials for recycling
  2. Modify zoning for smart growth--higher density, mixed use linked to public transit
  3. Improve public transit--frequency, more routes, connections to Metro-North
  4. Improve conditions for bicycle riders
  5. Improve energy efficiency in all public facilities
  6. Invest in renewable energy sources
  7. Advocate for better public transit
  8. Advocate for other green house gas reduction programs--e.g., carbon tax, better car mileage (CAFE) standards
  9. Plant more trees

Alan Brewster is deputy dean of the yale school of forestry and environmental studies. The website of the school has lots of interesting info, including descriptions of Kroon Hall the state of the art green building which will house the program. Also a calendar of speakers and events , many open to the public http://environment.yale.edu/index.html

After his presentation to ECC he sent this suggestion list any comments on how to move forward in these areas will be appreciated.
