Carbon Action Event

Croton 100 Launches Carbon Action Event Find out how you can be part of the solution to the challenge of climate change! Croton100, a not-for-profit environmental group in Croton on Hudson, NY working to reduce their community’s carbon footprint, will host a Carbon Playbook launch celebration at Croton-Harmon High School on Saturday, February 29, from 10:00 AM till noon, bringing together residents, businesses, government, and community organizations with the goal of reducing carbon emissions to net-zero by 2040. Those attending the event will learn how to begin reducing their carbon footprint by using the Croton100 Carbon Playbook app, a collection of actions that will lower household carbon emissions. The playbook app provides an individualized way for households to quantify their progress. Participants are encouraged to make a commitment to lower carbon use by 5% each year, with the goal of completely eliminating or offsetting carbon emissions by 2040. Croton100 was created to educate, encourage awareness, and provide support as we undertake the essential process of transitioning to carbon neutrality. Other towns and villages across the country are encouraged to adopt Croton100's approach and to take advantage of its app and collateral materials.
