Twenty years since An Inconvenient Truth - and the work continues, the urgency remains. The times are challenging, to be sure. But here in Westchester, the coalition for clean energy and environmental action has never been larger. Climate change is real - and we will do our part in the global movement to combat its ravaging effects, make clean energy available and affordable, and improve the ecology and health of our own communities.

Thank you to Congressman George Latimer for recognizing Sustainable Westchester’s Black Gold initiative on the House floor. Turning underused parking lots into clean energy hubs is a smart, practical way to lower costs, strengthen our grid, create jobs, and generate renewable energy right here in the Hudson Valley.

Black Gold is about rethinking spaces we see every day — and putting them to work for our communities and our future. Learn more: https://bit.ly/437evbf
