Five Brookfield High School seniors have revived the Brookfield Sustainability Youth Council.   Their advisor is Community Development Specialist Greg Dembowski.  The students are Alexa Dattner, Maahi Dhote, Gregory Friedman, Shruti Kelkar and Jackson Sharpe.  Dattner starting the high school’s environmental club last year and spearheaded efforts to bring the youth council back.  They meet three times a week with a goal of having Brookfield earn a special certification through the state’s SustainableCT initiative.  The voluntary program encourages sustainable practices.  Certification lasts three years. Municipalities can select from a range of actions to take to move up to various levels.  The former Youth Council filed town assets with the state to achieve “bronze” status in 2019.  In order to move up to Silver, Brookfield must earn 400 “points” and achieve three equity goals.  After tallying up the points Brookfield already has, the youth plan to make recommendations on new action to take.  They're talking with department heads about existing practices and reaching out to community partners.
