KIDS' CORNER

“If we want things to stay as they are, things will have to change.”

We are living in an unprecedented era; one in which the health of our planet and our pocketbooks both demand conservation.

The mission of this committee is clear. It was taken directly from the resolution Temple citizens passed at the 2007 Town Meeting: "to recommend local steps to save energy and reduce emissions."

Grounded in sound principles of energy conservation, TEEC has the following goals:

1) To lower our tax burden by implementing conservation measures in our town;

2) To find ways to increase energy efficiency through conservation, retrofitting, and the use of alternative energy sources in order to decrease financial, health and environmental costs to our community;

3) To help our community become more conscious of the impact of human activity on the environment within our homes and our community;

4) To encourage use of public transportation and healthy choices such as bicycling and walking;

5) To increase awareness of the benefits to our community of re-use and recycling;

6) To provide weatherization and other helpful services to residents in need;

7) To defend our community's open spaces and ecological health for the generations to come.

“If a nation expects to be ignorant and free, it expects what never was and never will be...

The people cannot be safe without information.”
