Westport Fire Headquarters

“The younger generation, our high school students, are the ones who will be most impacted by global warming and environmental changes. Four or six years from now they will be in the business world and leading lives where they will buy or build homes, and they will know the benefits of clean energy options.”

Gordon Joseloff, First Selectman, Westport Connecticut
