YES received a grant in 2009 to collect additional data for the ICLEI greenhouse gas inventory, to implement a no idling campaign, to develop specific recommendations to reduce street-lighting in Yarmouth, and to conduct a behavior/tools audit in municipal buildings. Funds were used to bring on an intern working fulltime for the summer of 2009.
