Voters Give Menino Four More Years to Turn "Beantown into Greentown"

Congratulations to Mayor Tom Menino for being elected to an unprecedented fifth term as Boston's mayor!

Mayor Menino has done a lot to make Boston more environmentally friendly, and during the campaign he promised to work even harder for a Green Boston:

"Mayor Menino’s substantial portfolio of environmental programming includes a plan to plant 100,000 trees by 2020 through Grow Boston Greener, a goal to expand solar installation to 25 megawatts under the Solar Boston initiative, and increasing recycling in neighborhoods by more than 50% through the Recycle More program.

Mayor Menino knows that green is not only good for our environment, but it saves residents and businesses money and stimulates our local economy.  Through these efforts and more, Mayor Menino is quickly 'turning Beantown into Greentown.'"

Based on these plans, Menino's fifth term should be his greenest. Tell the Mayor how important it is that he keep these promises by leaving a suggestion for him!
