WATERTOWN — The Watertown Environment and Energy Efficiency Committee agreed to organize a January screening of "The Plastic Detox," a documentary on plastic toxics, and discussed plans for a year-long update to the town's Climate and Energy Action Plan launching in January 2027. The committee reviewed recent community outreach including a Faire on the Square event that produced 16 signups for WE3C initiatives and an EV demonstration where Energy Manager Silas Fyler showcased his vehicle's ability to power equipment using just 1 percent of battery. Sustainability Manager Laurel Schwab outlined plans for updating the Climate Action Plan to include revised greenhouse gas inventories, updated goals and actions, and new metrics, with opportunities for committee participation.
The committee confirmed that Tom Brady, Director of Public Works, will present findings from a University of Vermont tree canopy study at the October 26 meeting.
