Many residents of Boston are making their homes more efficient, or walking more and driving less, and many local businesses and institutions are making substantial efforts to reduce energy use-and the City is providing resources to help them. In April 2007, Mayor Menino gave Boston's first Green Awards to twelve business and five residents who had gone above and beyond in their attempts to use green technologies and sustainable practices in their businesses and communities. To further focus the many efforts underway in Boston, the Mayor will establish a Community Climate Action Task Force to set goals and recommend actions for community-wide GHG reductions.
