No its not Saint Patrick's Day!
Beginning this weekend Yonkers kicked off its first annual Green Week celebration. This event will last until next Sunday April 27th. Some of the highlights will include a blessing of the Hudson River on Tuesday Morning and a tour of the Hudson River aboard New York Water Taxi on Thursday evening at 6pm.
The program is organized by the City Council's Green Policy Task Force. Marcia Bystryn, president of the Manhattan-based non-profit PlanNYC2030 for New York City, has great confidence in Yonkers abilities to become environmentally friendly and says "Yonkers with its major redevelopment effort, has a particularly good opportunity to create a sustainable downtown - one that reduces energy demand in government and private buildings and also preserves open space."
This Sunday in The New York Times Westchester section there was an article titled The House That Green Built features a home in Dobbs Ferry being built green.
As as always comments and suggestions are always welcomed...
