The Dobbs Ferry Energy Task Force wanted to extend a personal invitation to the upcoming Sustainable Dobbs event taking place at the Dobbs Ferry High School / Middle School Commons this Saturday, May 10th from 1 - 4:30.
With strong support from elected officials, municipal staff, village committees and the broader community, Dobbs Ferry has accomplished a lot on the sustainability front - and was recently recognized by New York State as a leader in the Climate Smart Communities program. The Village is saving money, protecting the environment and strengthening community connections through these initiatives - and still there is much more that we can do.
Sustainable Dobbs will start at 1:00 with an expo with sustainability-related vendors and information providers (we have Dobbs residents who will bring their electric cars and answering questions too). At 2:00 we'll then hear from Mayor Connett about the Village's sustainability initiatives, David Yarnold, President and CEO of the National Audubon Society about how our local efforts relate to the big picture, and from me and other members of the Energy Task Force.
We will present awards to Dobbs Ferry residents for their environmental leadership including Marie and Arch McKellar, and those who worked on the Climate Smart program. Perhaps most importantly, we've organized great break-out discussions on topics including energy efficiency and solar installations, opportunities to enhance walking, biking and transit, waste reduction, strengthening our local economy, local food and gardens and an introduction to Mercy College's sustainability club Envisaj Mercy with cutting edge innovations and boundless energy. This is an opportunity for you to get involved on the issue most important to you!
