I am a co-founder of Green Greenwich, a non-profit dedicated to reducing Connecticut’s energy consumption and carbon footprint. Green Greenwich began as a dream shared by two other boys in my town who, like me, were ardent environmentalists. Together, we envisioned a world where every child had the opportunity to learn about the environment and sustainability from a young age. Our mission was simple: to make our community, our nation and ultimately our world, a greener, more sustainable place.  

     Our mission began with a modest goal: to raise funds for developmental solar panels in our schools.  These panels weren’t just about clean energy; they were about providing younger students with the change to explore the wonders of sustainability. As we delved deeper into our mission, we realized the importance of introducing environmental science early in a child’s education.  We are currently working with the Greenwich Environmental Council on Green Initiatives. Read more about Green Greenwich and how you can get involved and donate here.  We are currently seeking Ambassadors and volunteers!
