> Last night the Eliot Board of Selectmen unanimously endorsed the  
> U.S. Mayors' Climate Protection Agreement, pledging to reduce  
> Eliot's greenhouse gas emissions by 7% by 2012 and pursue energy  
> efficiency and alternative energy options. Over 900 cities and  
> towns have endorsed the Agreement since it was begun in 2005 in  
> Seattle; there are 70 Maine communities as signatories.  The  
> endorsement will allow Eliot to become a member of Maine Partners  
> for Cool Communities (affiliated with Cool Cities)and begin to  
> create a municipal greenhouse gas inventory as well as a  
> comprehensive plan for energy efficient improvements throughout  
> town. These initiatives will be coordinated by the Eliot Energy  
> Commission with citizen involvement.
> The BOS also approved capital improvements to address the energy  
> efficiency of the Town Offices in response to the results of an  
> energy audit on the building.

> The Energy Commission has a few openings for members because

> We have some great plans and are moving forward with education,  
> solar, joint efforts with neighboring communities.
> We need your energy (LOL) and input! If interested, please send a  
> note stating your interest to the BOS - you can email it or drop it
