The committee will be co-chaired by a member of the Board of Selectmen and a member elected by the committee. It will be staffed by the Planning Department.<br /> For more details see the link on the right side of this page.<br /> It is anticipated that the Board of Selectmen will interview candidates and appoint the members to the committee during the summer and early fall. If you are interested in serving on the committee or know of someone who would, contact the Brookline Board of Selectmen. Or contact CCAB since we will try to keep the community informed as additional information concerning the selection process becomes available.Werner Lohenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7135734060864470392.post-12184137513783354312008-04-15T21:12:00.009-04:002008-05-30T18:14:26.051-04:00LOW CARBON DIET (LCD) GROUPSWould you like to join a Low Carbon Diet Team? <br />Contact MaryDewart@verizon.net or Ed Loechlerloechler@bu.edu.<br />Also see http://www.empowermentinstitute.net/lcd/<br /><br />The average American household emits 55,000 pounds of carbon each year from garbage, heating, cooling, electricity and transportation alone.
