Residents can expect further outreach about the environmental and noise impacts of gas-powered landscaping equipment, along with a possible survey targeted for June. The committee is also exploring whether a town site could demonstrate electric equipment and whether local groups have related events. Darien is planning a Sustainability Commission that would likely address waste-management requirements, while the current committee lacks enforcement authority.
