Green
Purchasing Tips!
Buy
local products (made in Marlborough, New
England, USA) to reduce transportation fuel costs
and support the local economy.
Consider
thelife 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.
Join
the Marlborough Community Preservation
(CPA) group to
help save local open space and
historical artifacts. Contact CPA
Coordinator, Barbara Earley, at MarlboroughCPA@gmail.com
