This week was busy again. Talked with some of our neighbors in New Scotland about issues related to development their. Had a town board meeting where we had a presentation from Peter Iwanowicz from the Governor's office aboyt the Governor's Climate Smart Communities Initiative. We adopted a resolution, drafted by Councilman Kotary, centered on makign our town more climate-smart. I seconded the motion. It was great first step towards re-evaluating our towns consumption and output as well as planning ahead for what climate change could look like.
As a parent, its an issue I am deeply concerned about. We also discussed a thank you letter we recieved from the Nature Conservancy for the town's work to protect and enhance the Environmental Protection Fund.
On Friday I was lucky enough to take part in a tree planting at Elsmere School to honor Earth Day and learned that the whole school had learned about reducing trash and changing patterns of consumption. I was very happy to see so many well informed students!
