Help East Montpelier Plan Energy Goals Over Next 20+ Years

When today’s kindergarteners are in their mid-twenties, what will East Montpelier’s energy picture look like? Will most of our buildings be snug, comfortable, well-insulated, and heated with the sun, local wood, and other renewable sources? If so, how will we get from here to there?
 
The Energy Committee and the Planning Commission would like your help in addressing these and other questions about our energy future on Saturday, January 21. We’ll meet 1:00 - 4:30 pm in the East Montpelier Elementary School gym for hopeful brainstorming and celebratory planning. The results will help feed into the revised town plan and provide guidance for the town over the next decades.
 
With the help of Transition Town Montpelier, we’ll use an internationally vetted model that emphasizes making the description of the future seem like a travel brochure for some exotic destination—just reading it makes you eager to go there.
 
Light refreshments will be provided.
