Climate Change Grants
Climate Change Grants Awarded: MassDEP has awarded $957,885 in grants to 162 communities and regional organizations to address issues of climate change, sustainability, and pollution prevention. The conditional funding will support innovative local and regional efforts to save energy, reduce waste, recycle and compost more, eliminate hazardous materials from school facilities and grounds, and reduce people's exposure to air pollution from excessive idling of bus, car and truck engines. Climate Change grants totaling $104,000 to six communities that are working to reduce greenhouse gases by using approaches such as installing green roofs, using solar power, public outreach, and retrofitting traffic signals with light-emitting diodes (LEDs). The awards went to Boston, Cohasset, Hull, Marlborough, Melrose and Reading. For a complete list of grant recipients, turn to: www.mass.gov/dep/recycle/ recawgr.htm
