GreenYorktown MISSION STATEMENT GreenYorktown is a local environmental advocacy organization dedicated to the belief that local actions can and do beget universal reactions. We believe that the time for action to reduce greenhouse gases and slow climate change is immediate. GreenYorktown's mission is to

• Advocate for sound environmental policy in the Town of Yorktown government, following the principles of the Sierra Club's Cool Cities campaign effective in reducing greenhouse gas emissions and therefore reducing the carbon footprint of our town. GreenYorktown will also act as a watchdog group to help implement town policy.
• Outreach to the local business sector to help establish best business practices and the 'greening' of buildings in commercial centers, helping businesses understand the economic rewards of sound environmental practices.
• Outreach to residents through education and information to encourage greener lifestyles and empower individuals to help prevent climate change.

GreenYorktown invites and welcomes participation from residents, local commercial entities, and governmental groups.
