Earth Day Events

The Tuxedo/Tuxedo Park Climate Smart Community Task Force invites you to join our webinars and events in honor of Earth Day. Attached is our flyer with details of two webinars and the Farmers Market event with a hyperlink to pre-order compost bins and rainwater barrels.

The Recycling webinar on Earth Day, April 22 at 7pm will be led by Marisa Kellerhouse from Interstate Waste Services, the recycler for the Town and the Tuxedo Club. She will discuss the current market for recycled items and best practices to make sure our recycling efforts are not in vain. Improper recycling leads to more landfill waste. 

The C-Change Conversations: Climate Science and Solutions webinar, with opportunity for Q&A, is an informative, non-partisan primer on climate science. Please check out their website: https://c-changeconversations.org/. This webinar will be held on Wednesday, April 28 at 7pm.

Both webinars are held via the Town's Webex at www.tuxedogov.org. Click on the Webex button and then again on the icon. We'll open the meeting at 6:45 if you'd like to check your connections. The C-Change webinar is jointly sponsored by the Village and the Town.

You can pre-order compost bins and rainwater barrels by June 10 for pick up at the Tuxedo Farmers Market on June 12. A Master Gardener and members of the Task Force will be on hand with information on composting for our gardens and reducing the landfill. The flyer contains a hyperlink for pre-ordering.

The Task Force invites you to join us every first Monday at 5:30 on the Town's Webex. We are making progress towards certification as a New York State certified Climate Smart Community with the goal of reducing our impact on the environment and helping to save taxpayer dollars!
