Green projects In Needham

The Green Needham Collaborative brings the community together with other people who are like-minded when it comes to the education and effice use of our resources.  There are many topics on the iste and they have kept the site up to date.

There is a link to some great tips for conservation.  I am pleased that a group like this is available at no cost to join.  For 26 years I have been recycling before Needham had their recycle facility the town of Wellesley allowed me to bring my recycle materials there.  All these things take time but it is worth the time.  I have used biodegradable products since the l977.  I was introduced to some amazing products that were developed in 1956 and broke down in days and weeks instead of years.  This same company got the "Stevie Award," and is a Climate Neutral Company.  Recently the products appeared on Oprah several times as one of her favorite products. I am glad the movement has continued and so many people have jumped on board.  I am sure back in the 70's I must have seemed weird to many but so what, right?

Although the Solar Challenge has officially ended they are extending the time for anyone who has not had a chance to sign up.  Needham recorded 281 contributions which earned 2 solar panels to be installed at Pollard Junior High School.

I think it will be worth it to take a look at this site.  They have done a terrific job here.

Pat--Just imagine if every community had embraced recycling in the 70's instead of scoffing....What would the world look like then?
