Fresh mountain air. Crystal clear waters. Your favorite tree in the neighborhood. It’s hard to describe the feeling of experiencing these natural resources. It’s even harder to picture a New York without them.

That is why we are making environmentally friendly choices, such as new options for waste management and clean energy, more accessible to all New Yorkers. That is why we are carefully monitoring the preservation of our forests and wetlands. That is why we are making sure our renewable energy projects have a minimal impact on our cherished natural resources.

We are rising to the occasion to protect our environment — for today and tomorrow. Because we don’t want that feeling of catching a fish, skiing through fresh powdered snow, or simply enjoying a walk in the park to ever go away.
