Town of Babylon – the greenest town in Long Island

Of all the townships on Long Island, the town of Babylon is a leader in showing how local government can help make a green difference.  Their Long Island Green Homes program http://ligreenhomes.com provides loans to homeowners up to $12,000 to pay for energy efficiency improvements to their home.  Home owners pay back the loan at annual cost of something less than the total energy savings projected by Home Performance Evaluation which is conducted by a Town-licensed, BPI Accredited energy auditor.  Similar proposals are in process in other towns, Brookhaven has one championed by councilwoman Connie Kepert but Town of Babylon should congratulted for stop talking and actually doing something positive for their citizens and our environment.
