Newton Eco Team Project is a community-wide energy conservation program that teaches, step-by-step, how to substantially reduce your carbon output in just a month’s time. The program is structured with an easy-to-use workbook. Small groups of neighbors and friends meet four times to learn ways to save money and energy.  Schools, cultural groups, faith-based groups, political groups and business groups are all enthusiastically joining this effort with the goal of reducing energy consumption in at least a quarter of all homes in Newton. Please visit our website: newtonecoteams.org and contact Bonnie Glickman:  [email protected] or Jay Walter:  [email protected] to find out how to involve your school in this exciting educational project.
