Sustainable CT has awarded The Town of Wilton, CT silver-level certification. This year, only 8 CT municipalities received silver-level certification, the highest level of certification currently offered.

Sustainable CT is a statewide initiative that looks for communities to take actions toward helping build community connection, social equity, and longer-term resilience. Wilton was recognized for efforts that included programs for buy-local initiatives, improvements in stewarded land and natural resources, expanding recycling materials accepted at the transfer station, continuing food waste reduction programs at the schools as well as air quality education, services for those
experiencing economic hardships and investments in energy infrastructure. To view Wilton’s 2022 Sustainable CT certification report, visit Wilton’s Sustainable CT profile page.

The Town would like to thank Tammy Thornton President, Wilton Go Green for her leadership of the effort to compile and document the work of the Town and various community organizations, which resulted in the silver-level certification.

Tammy noted “I could not be more proud of the many residents who contributed in the application process for what will be tremendous, sustainable outcomes for Wilton. Through their efforts and the little changes we are all making every day, this is a community clearly committed and energized to live green.”

“Congratulations to our 2022 certified communities,” said Lynn Stoddard, executive director of Sustainable CT. “We are inspired by the leadership and commitment of these communities. From elected officials and town staff to resident volunteers, these certified towns are improving opportunities and the quality of life for all.”

The Town of Wilton, CT and other 2022 certified communities will be recognized at an awards celebration on Monday, November 14th.
