“To create a city in a better balance with the natural world by making significant, measurable improvements in the way we, in newton, use resources.”

“The newton eco project helps residents conserve energy by informing them through newsletters, website and public forums on how they can sign up for the mass save nstar home energy assessments and make their homes more energy efficient by adding insulation and employing other conservation strategies. In 2013, green decade helped over 400 homeowners sign for energy assessments that resulted in insulation and other improvements. We support efforts of the energy smart newton initiative to reduce energy usage in newton by 20% in 2020.”

“Educational outreach: our website and bi-monthly newsletters inform residents, local government and businesses on ways to make our community more sustainable. Using a bicycle hooked to a generator we demonstrate that it takes more physical energy to light an incandescent bulb than a cfl bulb. We also provide literature on environmental topics such as composting, organic lawn care and conservation of natural resources.”
