Specific steps for reducing waste, reusing materials and recycling commodities will be presented. Topics will also include the relationship between energy, environment and economics that presents major challenges for the future of communities, the nation and the world.
This program will be presented by Lee Loomis, coordinator of New York State Energy Research and Development

Authority's financial and technical assistance programs, involving energy efficiency and alternate energy technologies for residential and small commercial customers.
Save Energy, Save Dollars
Designed to help people reduce their energy bills through low-cost or no-cost energy conservation methods, Save Energy, Save Dollars provides hands-on, practical information that people can start using the same day.
