What if we could hold the line on property tax increases, yet afford more services for Boxborough residents? That might become possible if our town becomes more energy-efficient. Besides controlling energy costs, efficiency helps reduce the amount of carbon dioxide that Boxborough releases into the atmosphere.

Efficiency and environmental improvements go hand in hand with conserving our natural resources and reducing our volumes of waste. By treating our land and water gently now, we might avoid costly problems in the future. Similarly, disposing of ever-increasing amounts of waste will only become more expensive as our town grows.
