Sustainable West Milford is participating in a fundraiser with Green Irene. We will get 20% of any purchase made through this link: http://Fundraiser.GreenIrene.com/SWM

Just in time for summer, Green Irene has three valuable guides full of useful information to help you make sustainable choices for your home.  Using these will help you learn about the importance of water conservation, responsible landscaping and yard care, and the reduction of waste by composting.
The guides will download as pdfs.

Thank You West Milford!!!!

The Good Old Fashioned Community Barn Painting was a huge success thanks to our community pitching in to help out! It took more than 500 hours of volunteer time combined with generous contributions from the community to make it all happen! Because of all these efforts, a local landmark has been preserved and we all learned a little bit more about what "community" really means here in West Milford!

Enjoy the You Tube Video that captures the event as it happened! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ikNnQTJF3ao
