Green Committee
Take the 2019 GREEN ACTION CHALLENGE NOW and Test your energy Savvy!!
Did you know that, without changing your current Eversource or National Grid utility service, you can put more renewables in the system by joining your neighbors with a renewable energy supplier that uses local wind, and solar power? For a few extra tax-deductible dollars a month, you can help to replace the need for dirty, unhealthy fossil fuel and make yourself feel green.
That’s just one of many ways you will learn about how you can make your life GREENER when you complete the Green Committee’s GREEN ACTION CHALLENGE for Earth Week 2019. Click on the words “Make the Switch” below the “Make the Switch” logo to be taken to the form.
Complete the GREEN ACTION CHALLENGE online and find out how to make some GREEN improvements in your life before Earth Week 2019 rolls around. You might win a gift card to a Back Bay hotel, restaurant, or another exciting prize!! The deadline is (naturally) Earth Day, April 22, 2019. NABB is aiming for 100 pledges completed; 250 would be impressive, & 500 responses would be over the top.
The mission of the NABB Green Committee is to provide information and assistance to neighborhood residents, businesses, and other organizations in the Back Bay to help them minimize their contributions to climate change through energy and excellent resource conservation.
Occasionally the Green Committee will post links to other web pages that contain useful and interesting information on green issues, such as the website of the Back Bay Green Initiative. The posting of these links does not constitute an endorsement of the views of a particular website but is done in an effort to connect interested viewers with information that may be related to the content on this page.
in around 300 words or less, about what you have done—big or small– to make a difference in the greening of our city and world. EVERY contribution counts; every story should be told. Send your story to NABB at 160 Commonwealth Avenue, #L8, Boston, MA 02116-2749, or via email to info@nabbonline.com, to the attention of the Green Committee.
