Green Purchasing Tips! 

 

Buy local products (made in Marlborough, New England, USA) to reduce transportation fuel costs and support the local economy.

  

Consider the life cycle of a product. What is it made from?  How long will it last?  How will it be disposed of?  Your sustainable choices prevent pollution, reduce waste, and invest in a green economy. Consider buying organic, durable products that can be reused or recycled when you are done with them.

NEW Walk with Green Marlborough Enjoy walking the trails of Marlborough in the company of a guided group the first Saturday of each month. The next walk is 9am Saturday, July 4th at The Desert, 615-acre conservation land named for glacial sand deposits and a scrub pine forest.  Lovely streams and wooded area.  The walk leader is Rick Boudrie, a veteran AT hiker (Maine to Georgia) who enjoys exploring local trails and bird watching. The walk is 1.5 hours and about 1.5 miles. Dress for the weather, wear sturdy shoes, and bring water/snack.  Directions:  From Route 20 turn onto Concord Road toward the golf course.  Go about 2.5 miles.  Look for a wooden sign and parking lot on the right.   Info: Rick Boudrie, 508-481-0569
