Town takes climate action to new heights
By Beth Zonis

Lexington, MA takes climate change to new heights LEXINGTON - Lexington is a town that understands the importance of climate action.

The Energy Conservation Committee (ECC), the Department of Public Facilities (DPF), the Department of Public Works (DPW), the Chamber of Commerce, and many citizens and employees are working together to make a difference.

The objectives are to reduce dependence on fossil fuels and to save money. Good progress has been made to date, and of course there’s still much more to do.

Join the Energy Revolution
By Beth Zonis

LEXINGTON - On Saturday, Oct. 24 from 2 to 3:30 p.m. there will be an Energy Revolution Rally in the Minute Man National Historical Park at 174 Liberty St. in Concord, near the Old North Bridge.

This is one of about 2,000 similar events world-wide on this International Day of Climate Action.

The purpose is to send a message to world leaders ahead of the United Nations climate change meeting in Copenhagen in December: to encourage a bold, fair and binding international climate treaty negotiation.
