Cambridge Cohousing Wins Award for Environmental Awareness
In a ceremony at Cambridge City Hall on May 31, 2000, the Cambridge Advisory Committee on Environmentally Desirable Practices commended Cambridge Cohousing "For excellence in recycling, reuse, waste reduction, and buying recycled." The committee's officials, on less that 24 hours' notice, inspected Cambridge Cohousing's facilities, including poking through compost and recycling bins. Cambridge Cohousing won the award for, among other things, our ground source heat pump, composting practices, and dedication to recycling. In turn, we thank the efforts of our Live Lightly Please committee, which promotes environmentally friendly living.
