We know that ultimately eliminating our own personal fossil fuel usage is key to reducing global warming. So much of our personal carbon footprint comes from controllable fossil fuel usage in our home. By participating in Sustainable Westchester's EnergySmart Homes program, we are bringing options for our residents to consider that will help them move toward using less energy with proper insulation, and using carbon-free forms of electricity with geothermal and air source heat pumps. As there is urgency in reducing greenhouse gas emissions, we rely on programs like this as they provide the opportunity for widescale high impact carbon reduction options.
I am very excited to help educate residents on the importance of renewable energy systems while also implementing these renewable energy/energy efficient solutions throughout the Village!
EnergySmart Homes can help you make your home more comfortable while saving energy on your utilities.
I have been a nature lover my whole life. It is my keen appreciation for our planet, and all of its inhabitants, that makes me sensitive to the crisis Earth presently faces. Humankind has created a global problem that poses danger to all living species including ourselves – but we also have the potential to create global solutions. To achieve these, we first look to implementing local community-level solutions. My passion and understanding of the need for this approach has brought me to the EnergySmart campaign, and I’m excited to get to work.
The Briarcliff Sustainability Committee uses community outreach to encourage Briarcliff Manor residents to bring about positive environmental change by evaluating their personal sustainability goals. We believe in working closely with neighboring communities on initiatives like reducing our dependence on single-use plastics, and collection of food scraps for composting. We are excited now to work with Green Ossining and Sustainable Westchester on the EnergySmart Homes Program to educate Briarcliff residents on clean energy options for their homes.
