Potential Ossining Measures – Water Resources Sector

Summary: These measures are focused on increasing household and business water conservation and conducting outreach intended to raise awareness of the effects of stormwater runoff on the environment. (Commercial Water Conservation, Household Water Conservation, Stormwater Management)

Detailed Recommendations:  Waste Sector

Summary: These measures are focused on minimizing the amount of non-recyclables entering the waste stream and maximizing recycling rates. They are divided among four sectors: commercial waste management, household waste management, public spaces, and construction practices.

The Green Committee held its July meeting on Wednesday, July 14th. The meeting focused on the initial recommendations for the waste sector that will form one of the components of the Ossining Climate Action Plan. Many good ideas were brought to the table and the Committee will continue work on the energy, water resources, and transportation sectors at forthcoming meetings. Detailed recommendations for the waste sector component of the Plan based off of the discussion from Wednesday’s meeting are being drafted and will be sent out to all Committee members prior to the next meeting.
