We, the undersigned residents of the Islip Township, appeal to the Islip Town Board to fulfill its commitment to the local community in protecting our economic and environmental viability by not only complying with Governor Cuomo’s Clean Energy Standard, but exceeding its expectations. We call upon the Islip Town Board to set an official goal for being powered by 100% renewable electricity by the year 2030. We request this be done in order to reduce energy costs, encourage job growth, preserve local ecosystems, slow the rise of global temperatures that cause climate change and we ask that the Islip Town Board also take into account the environmental impact of all of its decisions in any policy made, and consider the example that they set for both other townships and the upcoming generations.
