PRESCHOOLS, retirement homes and sport clubs around NSW will soon go green, under $5.9 million in state government grants for energy and water upgrades.
Environment Minister John Robertson announced the funding for the Community Savers grants, which will allow community organisations to complete upgrades including switching to solar hot water or lighting retrofits.
Mr Robertson said the projects will save 125 million litres of water and 4,560 tonnes of carbon pollution a year.
"To protect our environment and prepare for the reality of climate change we need everyone to contribute, including all levels of government and the community," he said.
The grants, of up to $40,000, will go to 247 community organisations under the Government's Climate Change Fund.

Does anyone know if churches will be covered under this?
