Environmentalism Program Needs Volunteers for Committee

Environmentalism in Pembroke: Improving the Environment and Ecosystems of Pembroke

The Board of Selectmen is proposing a program designed to help protect Pembroke's environment and ecosystems by allowing the citizens of Pembroke to take an active role in helping to do so. To implement the program, volunteers are needed to serve on a selection committee that will meet each fall to review submissions by the citizens of Pembroke to improve the environment and ecosystems of Pembroke.

Pembroke citizens are called upon to develop ideas related to environmentalism and to develop a poster or pamphlet to be displayed at Town Hall or the Library. The ides that are the judged to be the most relevent will be forwarded for consideration to the appropriate legislators, whether that be someone in Town Hall, the State House, or in Washington D.C.

This program will be open year round, as good ideas should never be disqualified due to the timing, but to be entered into the competition for the Green Award, ideas must be submitted by October 30th.

The winners will be selected by a committee of volunteers; the ideas will be judges upon the basis of their feasibility, ingenuity and environmental spirit behind the proposal.
