During the Needham 1,000 campaign, over 900 local households<\/b> took the Challenge, pledging to implement energy-saving actions that would keep over 7 million pounds of CO2<\/b> out of the atmosphere each year. The wrap-up also recognized multiple businesses and community organizations that helped recruit families to take the challenge or made significant improvements in their organization’s use of energy. <\/p>\n

Green Needham Chair Michael Greis<\/b> opened the presentation ceremony by positioning the importance of the efforts of people and organizations throughout Needham in promoting a more sustainable future for Needham. <\/p>\n

\nFollowing the completion of this campaign, Green Needham was honored to be recognized by State Representative Denise Garlick for its accomplishments<\/b>.\n<\/p>\n

At a subsequent Green Needham meeting, Representative Garlick presented Green Needham with a Citation from the Massachusetts House of Representatives<\/b> commending the organization’s “outstanding commitment to reducing energy use”.\n<\/p>\n

Accepting the citation for Green Needham, Chair Michael Greis noted it recognizes not just the hard work of many individuals in Green Needham, but a community-wide effort to make Needham an even better place to live and work. <\/p>\n

That community-wide effort will continue in 2013. Green Needham has already announced the formation of its Home Energy Savings team<\/a> to build on the success of the Community Energy Challenge and Needham 1,000 campaigns to help homeowners save energy and money, while reducing carbon emissions and increasing local economic activity. <\/p>\n

The Needham 1,000 plaque, a poster presentation highlighting the energy-saving accomplishments of community businesses and organizations, and the Citation from the House of Representatives are now all on display on the first floor of Needham’s Town Hall. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
