Maplewood has pledged to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions 20% by the year 2015. A Climate Action Plan to reach this goal was developed by residents and the Environmental Advisory Committee. It was approved by the Township Committee on September 18, 2007. The Action Plan is now in the implementation phase.
