The Sustainable Energy
Commission
launched the “Strive
for Five” community challenge
to increase to 500 the number of households and businesses in Newtown,
CT
signed up for CTCleanEnergyOptions. The challenge will conclude at the
end of April 2011, which has been designated Energy Awareness Month.
We need you
to
sign up today to help us achieve our collective, town wide goal to earn
free solar photovoltaic systems to be installed on our municipal
buildings. Help reduce our town operating costs, make our tax dollars
go farther...

Intermediate School Solar Panel Project
As of December 31, 2010,
Newtown had earned a total of 631 clean energy points from
CCEF.
Newtown earned 1 point for each of the 432 customers enrolled
in the CTCleanEnergyOptions program, earned 3 points for
each of the 26 clean energy installations in town and earned
another 100 points when Curtis Packaging Corporation made
a large-scale clean energy purchase. Newtown’s clean
energy points have earned the town 7 kW in clean energy
systems from CCEF to date.

Global warming and
climate change
are upon us and virtually all scientists agree that human activity is a
primary cause. Global temperatures and sea levels are rising.
Storms are increasing in frequency and intensity, causing
both floods and drought. Carbon emissions and other pollution
are fouling the air we breathe, the water we drink, and endangering
food stocks. These events are also damaging human health and
driving many species to extinction.
We can reduce these impacts and protect the environment our children
and grandchildren will inherit. The choices we make today and
in the coming years can help conserve the natural, economic, and social
character of Newtown. While the challenge is worldwide, it is also
local. Therefore, the Newtown community must think and act locally to
soften the impact of past activities on our future well-being.
While being aware of global initiatives, we will collaborate at the
community level to identify areas for conserving natural resources, to
promote greater use of renewable energy, to help reduce emissions and
pollution, and to increase individual awareness of ecology. We plan to
help our community live sustainably
and be good stewards for the earth.
