My niece recently did a science fair project on energy use in their home. She monitored the electric and gas use in relation to daily temperature for a period of time, then made changes- added insulation around the water heater, flashing under a couple doors, insulating trim around outside doors in the basement, et cetera. Only a 3rd grader, and she won! If a 9 year old can do it, so can you! An energy audit for your home is a great idea! My niece recently did a science fair project on energy use in their home.

As a member of the Orangetown Environmental Committee I will be making a presentation on January 24, 2009 in preparation of presenting a request to the Town Board for a similar nontoxic land maintenance policy. We are at a significant crossroad of consideration. A new approach to golf course maintenance is being called upon - one that puts safety of the community first!

Rose Marie has worked together with Connie Coker on the Pesticide Act and she has been involved in developing the management plan which the county, and anyone(!), can adopt to manage their lawns and garden pesticide free. Rose Marie confirmed that we can contact the legislators via phone, e-mail, or by sending a letter to convey the importance of their support to the Pesticide Act. "It is critical that each legislator know that their is a public outcry for the well being of our children." So, go ahead - send something to your legislator (http://www.co.rockland.ny.us/Legislature/legislators.htm) and feel good about supporting this act in case you cannot make it. /Anna I have heard back from Rose Marie Raccioppi.

I did not see a "contact" info page with email address, and there does not seem to be an online form to fill out to submit additions to the map to you.
