Change-E-Hampton NY

 A group of East Hampton residents say they are alarmed by global warming and in particular about species collapse. 

They say that our lawn culture is poisoning us and insects in our yards  and killing the planet.

They are calling for habitat restoration and healthy yards, which means

re-imaging our landscape together with our landscapers.

Sustainable Long Island's Francesca Rheannon spoke this week with Gail Pellett of Change-E-Hampton NY, organizer of the group.

Renewable Heat Now Campaign

 

Renewable Heat Now is a campaign organized by several organizations including the Alliance for a Green Economy, New Yorkers for Clean Power, Earthjustice, and the New York Public Interest Research Group.

 The groups have joined together to accelerate the adoption of ground-source (or geothermal) and air-source heat pumps to reduce the amount of fossil fuels used to heat and cool our homes and workplaces in New York state.

Host Francesca Rheannon talked recently with Billi Roberti of Huntington - an activist with the campaign.
