The global warming crisis is upon us. Our community must begin to conserve, to reduce our energy use, and we must do it now

The Green Decade Coalition/Newton with funding from NSTAR, Chapman Construction/Design, SUEZ Energy Resources, Boston Green Building and other organizations, is offering two contests on this topic this year:

  • Energy Conservation Essay Contest
  • Energy Conservation Art Contest

The contests are open to all students in grades 3-12 who either live or go to school in Newton:

  • Elementary (3-5)
  • Middle School (6-8)
  • High School (9-12)

Students may choose to enter either or both contests.
