Sustainable Hanover Committee Charge, April 2009
The purpose of the Sustainable Hanover Committee (SHC) is to help assure a resilient, prosperous and healthy community for present and future residents, and to assure that Hanover does its part to sustain a healthy ecosystem and social well-being throughout our region and the interdependent nations of the earth. With a global vision and regional connections, we act locally on your behalf.
In order to achieve this end, the SHC shall:
1. Advise the Selectmen and Town Manager on policies and practices that will contribute to sustainable prosperity and well-being for the community, and assist the Selectmen, the Town Manager, and Town departments in implementing policies and practices intended to achieve these goals.
2. Provide a clearinghouse and linkages for the several committees, commissions, institutions, and volunteer groups who are addressing the issues affecting sustainability including energy, waste management, mobility and transportation, food and agriculture, education, and land use.
3. Oversee the development and implementation of a town sustainability plan, with assistance from a steering committee of residents and Town staff.
4. Educate people who reside and work in Hanover regarding challenges to sustainable prosperity and well-being and ways to address these challenges and to enhance our long-term welfare.
