The Environmental Sustainability Task Force is charged by the Planning Commission with formulating specific sustainability and climate goals, including goals for energy efficiency, renewable energy, carbon neutrality, and resiliency. The Task Force considers how to incorporate sustainability into new or revised ordinances, as well as assessing Township operations to identify opportunities and practices for reducing energy use and carbon emissions, and benefiting the environment.

"Scio Township commits itself to a just transition to net zero greenhouse gas emissions due to township operations no later than 2030 and to the same goal through all sectors of the township by 2035." Resolution 2022-11, Declaring a Climate Emergency
