West Windsor’s green event a success

Councilwoman Heidi Kleinman of West Windsor
    GroWW — Greening West Windsor Environmental Education Fair on Saturday was first envisioned last February as a way to display the environmental initiations happening through our township to protect our natural resources. As a township we have embarked on a path to develop a Sustainability Plan for our community which encompasses land-use decisions, energy-saving opportunities, better health initiatives and a desire to increase our recycling program.
   Saturday, 2,500 attendees arrived at the fair with an open mind to learn about the better choices which are available to protect your personal health and the health of the planet. To all our neighbors, thanks for showing up, asking good questions and letting us know how much you enjoyed the fair.
   The success of the event could not have been possible without the hard work of the 75 GroWW Committee volunteers, township employees and all the exhibitors. A special thanks to all the high school students who have been an integral part of the planning process and worked tirelessly all day on Saturday. The committee would like to acknowledge Erika Fields, Jennifer Sharma, Jenny Yu, Pritha Dasgupta, and Annie Scharfstein for demonstrating leadership skills far beyond your years for aiding in the logistics for the day.
