Great message . . . Repair Cafe in Kent, CT coming up at the end of the month!

Secondhand September is a good time to rethink our relationship with stuff 💭

Choosing what’s already in circulation helps cut waste, save resources, and challenge the idea that new is always better.

What’s one secondhand habit you’re taking into this month? 👇

Start gathering up those caustic, toxic, flammable, corrosive or reactive chemicals you may have around the house. Those products should never go into your household garbage. https://www.facebook.com/watch/?comment_id=1722365415496462&v=1034328809436216¬if_id=1788877602968171¬if_t=comment_mention&ref=notif

Tired of gas powered leaf blowers ruining your enjoyment of the summer months?

As you are probably most aware, the current law in Ridgefield allows one to use as many gas powered leaf blowers as one likes, every day of the year, from 7 am to 9 pm. The photo below was taken in Ridgefield on the corner of Gilbert and Main. Unfortunately this scene is not atypical. Multiple landscapers, each with a gas powered backpack, chasing leaves or grass clippings.

The town of Ridgefield is currently considering a better quality of life balance by restricting the use of these polluting (noise and toxic air emissions) machines from memorial day to labor day. There are exceptions allowed (e.g. storm damage from severe weather events).

If you agree that a summer restriction is needed, please attend the Sept 2nd Hearing at town hall at 7:30 pm. Come and tell your story to the Board about how the noise adversely affects your enjoyment of your property and home.
