Brick’s “green team” is planning a home energy information forum which will provide tips on how the save on energy bills and help the environment.
The information session will be held May 17 at 7 p.m. at Civic Plaza, 270 Chambers Bridge Road. Homes, an announcement about the event said, are significant consumers of energy in New Jersey, accounting for 24 percent of annual statewide energy use. Energy-based improvements reduce energy consumption, energy costs and greenhouse gas emissions.
To address the issue, the Sustainable Brick Committee (affectionately known as the volunteer “Green Team”) and the Brick Township Environmental Commission are hosting the forum for residents.
