City of Newton, MA
Home MenuTake Action 4 Our Future
Together we can meet Newton's goal of becoming carbon-neutral by 2050.
60% of the City’s greenhouse gas emissions come from residential buildings and vehicles, that’s why we need everyone — renters, homeowners, and students — to take action 4 Our Future.
Why do we say 4 Our Future ?
Because the four key actions described below have enormous impact on the climate – as well as real cost savings and comfort benefits!
Weatherize to the Max
Get the best bang for your buck
Insulate and air seal your home to bring you comfort, energy efficiency, and cost savings for a lifetime. Everyone (even renters!) can get started with a free energy assessment and at least 75% off recommended improvements.
Heat & Cool Smart
Upgrade to clean, efficient comfort
Install heat pumps, the most energy efficient technology to heat and cool your home – which also give you more control over temperature and humidity.
Go Solar
Harness the clean energy of the sun
Solar panels provide clean & cheap electricity, 5-8 year payback, 25 year warranty, and no maintenance.
