Important issues here friends!

If you moved to our neck of the woods, it’s likely because we are a Rivertown. But not only should all Rivertowns be aware of what is happening in our River, anyone who admires our majestic Hudson should be in-the-know about this very critical environmental issue.

Please join Friends of a Clean Hudson coalition on Thursday, August 15 at 6 p.m. to hear about the General Electric contamination of the Hudson, how their court ordered clean up is going, what independent experts believe are dire problems with EPA’s conclusions, identify public comment opportunities, analyze current trends in fish and sediment PCB levels, and discuss how upcoming decisions on a nearly 200-mile section of the river could impact human health and the environment.

It’s a lot. But as our backyard is one of the largest Superfund sites in the Nation, you ought to know. And you ought to care enough to help.

YOUR VOICE MATTERS.Learn what you can do.

Looking for a fast, inexpensive way to live more sustainably? 🙋🏻‍♀️🙋🏾‍♂️🙋🏼🙋🏿‍♀️
Get yourself a food scrap bin and form the habit of tossing your leftovers, spoiled food, and food scraps from cooking right in, not in your trash!

If you’re not looking to create compost in your own yard, dropping off your food scraps in Mount Kisco is definitely a great alternative. 👍
Earth’s soil is depleted from nutrients but we can fix that by feeding the Earth with what we don’t eat! 🙌🏻
Bins are available to purchase and the drop off location for food scraps is on Lincoln Place at the DPW site.
It is accessible 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. 👏🏽
Have you started recycling your food scraps? 🤔
