MARION — Tom Friedman is thinking green with his campaign for Planning Board.
Friedman, a 25-year resident, is currently on the Energy Management Committee, which focused on issues that are “very close” to his heart.
“It seemed that we had a lot of challenges as to how to handle global warming, sea rise, increase in population, demand on space,” Friedman said.
Friedman is a longtime engineer, and he said his family has three hybrid cars, solar panels on their home and a solar hot water system.
“Start at home,” he said, “use those things to preach to friends and neighbors.”
If elected, Friedman said he’s interested in keeping Marion both affordable and environmentally conscious for future generations.
