Greetings!
On Earth Day, Thursday April 22nd, join more than one billion
people in 190 countries who are taking actions to preserve our
planet. Actions can be simple, like riding your bike to the
store, remembering to turn off lights that are not in use or
attending a free seminar to learn how to save energy and how much
difference you can make. Many Wellesley residents have the
opportunity to reduce energy use by 50% which would save each of
them $3,000 and eliminate 12 tons of CO2 annually.
How will you make a difference on Thursday? The Earth Day
seminar will help you to be ONE of the
leaders to bring solutions to Wellesley.
See you there!
