An ad-hoc committee formed by the West Chester Borough Council in winter 2006; BLUER's mission is to help our entire community - including our municipal and County government operations, residents, businesses, and nonprofits - reduce greenhouse gas pollution 10% below 2005 levels by the year 2015. This will help us break the trend toward rising greenhouse emissions and put West Chester on a track toward further greenhouse gas reductions, and toward a more sustainable economic and environmental future. More about Us
By taking BLUER's ENERGY STAR pledge, you can make small changes in your home that can add up to big energy savings for the Borough.
If every American household took part in the pledge, we would save more than 110 billion kilowatt hours of electricity, more than $18 billion in annual energy costs, and prevent greenhouse gases equivalent to the emissions of more than 18 million cars. Take the pledge now! Just click here
Hoping they can set a good model for Chester County businesses, industries, governments, and residents, the county commissioners have adopted a dense set of recommendations on how to reduce greenhouse gases thought to be responsible for climate change.
