This #EnvironmentalAwarenessMonth, take heart that Hudson Valley students are being taught to throw away less and compost more — making an impact against food waste for decades to come. The U.S. currently discards nearly 120 billion pounds of food every year — almost 40% of its food supply. We can do better, and kids can help lead the way! https://lnkd.in/eiabG_w3

#ParksWeLove: Van der Donck Park at Larkin Plaza YONKERS, Westchester County — For much of the 20th century, the Saw Mill River flowed beneath the streets of downtown #YonkersNY. #ScenicHudson took initial steps to demonstrate the feasibility of "daylighting" (aka uncovering) this #HudsonRiver tributary.
