Between the take-out boom and proliferation of disposable PPE, the pandemic has not been a ‘green’ time, but on Earth Day this Thursday the City plans to put the environment back into focus.
Between a City-wide volunteer cleanup, a sustainable energy rebate program, and online events on combating climate change, there are many ways community members can get involved.
