Only 5% of the world's population lives in the United States, yet we consume 33% of the world's energy. Our convenience oriented lifestyle is depleting natural and non-renewable resources across the world while we spin in a merry-go-round of consumption, creating a constant stream of waste and toxic by-products that pollute our environment, our bodies and our children. It is time for us to pause and consider the consequences of our behavior on the next generation.
As parents, teachers and educators, we are in a unique position to foster environmentally sustainable practices in our homes, our schools and our community. Together we can reverse this trend. Together we can build THE GREEN GENERATION. Please sign Hopkinton's Green Generation pledge and become a part of the solution.
If you are a parent, educator or a resident in Hopkinton, please sign the Hopkinton Goes Green pledge to foster environmentally friendly practices in our community. Please encourage your friends, family, school and neighbors to get involved in this great movement.

HOPKINTON GOES GREEN PLEDGE 2010
As a member of the Green Generation, I pledge to Reduce, Reuse and Recycle where I live, learn and play. I will encourage my friends and family members to protect our Planet Earth and all of us living in it:
- I will reduce how much I consume everyday
- I will use reusable bags, bottles and containers
- I will recycle as much as I can
- I will make healthier and less toxic choices
- I will spread the word
Thank you!
