Mission: Recognizing the delicate balance of our natural resources and assets, the mission of the Dobbs Ferry Energy Task Force is to help Village government, residents, businesses and institutions become more sustainable by saving energy, using resources and renewable energy more effectively, and taking steps to become better stewards of the environment.
The Energy Task Force promotes: • Efficient use of energy and other resources; • Waste reduction and recycling; • Walking, cycling, and use of mass transit; and • Appropriate land use.
The Energy Task Force seeks to engage the entire community in this mission.
