How Green is Lewisboro?
Together, we will make a difference.
Town Supervisor, Peter Parsons
As your town Supervisor, I have been handed a study by NYS with recommendations for climate change adaption strategies. These are serious matters. Most immediate may be emergency preparedness, water quality protection and energy efficiency. Forethought and preparedness will be vital to handling these changes effectively. I see our environmental concerns coming together splendidly with the sustainable fiscal future of our municipality.
I am very concerned with issues of climate change. My sister Jane in Seaton, England has witnessed enough climate change in recent years that her favorite beans rot before they ripen, and now she can grow tomatoes and cucumbers outside instead of in a greenhouse. While this has an obvious benefit, it comes with ever more frequent violent storms. Here in Lewisboro we've seen violent storms, and are likely to see them increase in number, which means more of the trees we love being knocked down, and other changes to the beautiful environment we enjoy.
