Reduce Styrofoam Use
Manufacturers produce more than 15 million tons of polystyrene (aka Styrofoam) each year, but we recycle less than 1% of it. Styrofoam is made using cancer-causing benzene and the brain toxin styrene, which can migrate into food.
Government Goes Green
The Chestertown Climate Action Project is a first foray into greening the Chestertown government. Read more about Chestertown's progress.
As part of Chestertown's efforts, the process of going green will be placed online in the form of toolkits and blueprints for other municipalities. We hope these tools will make it easier for others to learn from our experience. Check back for more in the near future.
