Sustainability Forum in Bethel
Each of us can make a difference—Working together WE can make a huge difference.
Dear Bethel Business Association,
The Town of Bethel is hosting an environmental open house forum on June 15, 2025 at the Duggan School Gym in Bethel from noon to 3PM. The focus will be on giving residents and businesses information about how they can save energy, money and reduce our community’s greenhouse gas emissions and climate footprint.
Would you help us inform our Bethel residents about the forum and encourage them to attend the open house?
Homes and cars make up 77% of the greenhouse gas emissions from Bethel based on the towns greenhouse gas emissions inventory produced in conjunction with the Hudson Valley Regional Council. Additionally, residents consistently identify surface and groundwater quality as critical to their interests.
The open house forum will concentrate of helping residents:
- improve the heating and cooling systems in their homes and businesses,
- learn about electric and hybrid vehicles,
- learn about community solar
- provide landscaping pointers for native plants and reduce use of chemical fertilizers
- provide information on how to maintain private septic tanks
- get information on improving surface and groundwater water quality
- participate in composting, and other issues
