.@LowerMerionTwp Kudos for deciding to purchase your electricity supply from 100% renewable sources. This will reduce twp's CO2 emissions by 8,336 metric tons/yr – equal to greenhouse gases of 1,785 passenger vehicles driven for 1 yr – and save taxpayers $644,400+ over 3 yrs
Starting December 1st, Lower Merion will purchase only electricity that is from ENTIRELY RENEWABLE resources! Details: ow.ly/kC2j30mpWJD
