Are you thinking about ways to save on your energy costs while reducing your carbon footprint?

The Newton Solar and Home Energy Fair will include information on the various state and federal incentives available to homeowners. You can also learn how the city is taking advantage of solar and meet with a number of installers to see what might work for your home.

Representatives of many solar companies will be there, as well as organizations which can help with energy efficiency and financing for efficiency and renewable energy. There will even be providers with options for homeowners who may not be able to host solar on their own roofs, but are looking to support and use renewable energy.

Please join Mayor Warren on Tuesday, January 27th and learn how the renewable energy revolution can work for you! The event is free and open to all. If you have any questions please contact Rob Garrity, Director of Sustainability, at rg******@******ma.gov or 617-796-1043.
