GreenYorktown, a group of Yorktown residents working to help make Yorktown “green”, welcomes and invites the public to a special screening of “An Inconvenient Truth” on December 14, the first of a series of films and speakers.
The group has invited for its first speaker, Yorktown Supervisor-elect Don Peters to outline his environmental policies for Yorktown.
“We have asked Supervisor-elect Don Peters to speak briefly on his environmental plans for Yorktown when he takes office in the New Year,” said Patty Peckham, from GreenYorktown. “Mr. Peters has kindly consented to take questions from the audience on subjects such as how he hopes to lower C02 emissions, introduce more efficient lighting and utilize energy conservation technology,” she said.
This Global Warming documentary, “An Inconvenient Truth”, which won former Vice President Al Gore an Academy Award, will be shown free to the public beginning at 7 PM in the Town Hall main meeting room. A general discussion will follow the screening.
GreenYorktown will have a display highlighting energy conservation technology as well as literature on how local residents can contribute and participate in helping to lower C02 emissions and conserve energy.
A number of hybrid (combination gas and electric) cars, grease cars and bio-diesel powered vehicles will be on display outside town hall.
More than 30 Yorktown residents have already joined the GreenYorktown environmental group, which seeks to promote awareness and empower us, household by household, building by building, to reduce harmful emissions, conserve energy, and help stop climate change.

Here, Here!
It's simply about time someone is blogging about energy conservation. In this (lower) New York State region, we absolute should and need to conserve whatever resources we have! That includes land, vistas, stonewalls, and of course, my personal fvorite, watersheds.
Thank you for his discussion.
