WE NEED YOU, THE PEOPLE OF SOMERS, to help us make our Town more energy efficient and sustainable in the 21st Century. This is a local grassroots effort, and we encourage all residents and businesses, alike, to get involved.
We would appreciate your input. You may contact dschirmer@somersny.com to collect your ideas, feedback, issues and questions about, the Energy Environment Committee, or in general about the greening of Somers.
As part of our longer range climate protection efforts, the Energy Environment Committee will design, implement, and communicate a variety of measures that we can take to reduce our greenhouse gas emissions. These measures will lead to lower energy use and reduced energy costs for residences and businesses while preserving our environment for generations to come.
If you have a particular interest in energy efficiency at home or at work, efficient transportation, use of renewable energy technology, recycling and waste management, sustainable food, composting, green building and land use please join us and help us assess and communicate these important quality of life issues for our Town, our families and most of all our children!
