GO GREEN Needham<\/b> was launched in April 2018 and is a joint project of the Green Needham Collaborative and the Needham League of Women Voters. It is a comprehensive effort to encourage the Needham community at all levels to step up their efforts to be “green.”<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

What are we trying to accomplish?<\/p>\n

Given that the damaging effects of climate change are already being experienced in Massachusetts, we are asking the community to make new efforts to cut energy use, adopt renewable energy, and reduce waste and toxic chemicals. No one entity can do everything, but we are offering our help to identify existing solutions that offer environmental (and often financial) benefits. At the same time we want to celebrate success and share solutions, thus adding to Needham’s civic pride and support of local businesses, organizations, and institutions.<\/p>\n

Who will participate in the GO GREEN Needham Campaign?<\/h5>\n

Local businesses, houses of worship, clubs and organizations, schools, individual residents, elected and appointed officials as well as the Town itself will be asked to participate.<\/p>\n
