Dalton Green Committee Selects Climate Action Logo

By Sabrina DammsiBerkshires Staff
DALTON, Mass. — The Green Committee voted to select Ashlyn Roch's submission for its Climate Action Plan logo during its November meeting.
 
The town's CAP consultant Blue Strike, will have its graphic designer covert the drawing into a usable logo for the town. 
 
The committee is developing a climate action plan with Blue Strike to achieve net-zero by 2050 by seeking strategies to decrease the town's dependence on fossil fuels for homes, businesses, municipal facilities, and vehicles. 
 
It received 24 logo submissions from Wahconah Regional High School students. 
 
"The response was phenomenal," committee member Laurie Martinelli said. 
 
Blue Strike had its graphic designer narrow the submission down to the three most compatible options that can be turned into a logo. 
 
"Everything that we got, the vast majority of them were interesting. It's really what the designer is saying [will make the best commercial logo]. It's not the best art," committee member Todd Logan said.
