We’re back to our last-Thursday-of-the-month meeting schedule, and we have a great one. We’ll be touring a home that’s been remodeled “green”, nearly complete, and targeted for LEED certification.
Instead of our usual last-Thursday-of-the-month Greener Bloomfield meetings, which would fall on Thanksgiving and Christmas Eve, we’re going to combine them into one “Celebrate!” meeting on Thursday, December 3, 7:30 pm, at the Bloomfield Civic Center. (Repeat: NO MEETING NOVEMBER 26 OR DECEMBER 24!)

loomfield Township Council members will be voting on a Water Conservation Ordinance at tonight’s 7:30 p.m. meeting. With fresh water as a limited resource, the ordinance sets standards oflawn watering no more than two days per week between the hours of 5:00 p.m. and 9:00 a.m. (when water is less likely to evaporate), and also sets protocols for water/drought emergencies.
At tonight’s 7:30 p.m. Bloomfield Township Council meeting, the Council will have a hearing and vote on an Anti-Idling Ordinance. The ordinance, which is separate from the Anti-Idling resolution passed in August, essentially copies state anti-idling codes and establishes local enforcement policies and fines. In addition, a number of Anti-Idling initiatives will be presented for adoption at the Bloomfield Board of Education meeting, which starts at 7:00 p.m. All are encouraged to attend one or both of these meetings to express support for these initiatives.
Our next Greener Bloomfield meeting will be held on Thursday, July 30, at 7:00 pm. We will be meeting in a different location than usual, the Bloomfield College Library’s Reading Room on the first floor. All are welcome to attend. To RSVP, go to www.Meetup.com/GreenerBloomfield.

At the July 27 Township Council Conference Meeting, Greener Bloomfield will be offering a number of resolutions and ordinances related to actions that will help Bloomfield earn Sustainable Jersey certification.
Join us for an open work meeting on Thursday, June 25, at 7:00 pm in the Bloomfield Civic Center.
Please come to the Bloomfield Township Council meeting on MONDAY, JUNE 15, at 7:30 p.m., to preserve funding for the Open Space Trust Fund! Some members of the Township Council are proposing an ordinance to reduce the Open Space Trust Fund collection by half for “just this year” due to the economic situation, which would save taxpayers an average of only $7 on their tax bill. While they may have good intentions and we all could use some extra cash in tough times, we feel this sets a dangerous precedent, and we need a strong public turnout at the meeting with people speaking to support the current levels of Open Space funding will go a long way toward preserving the will of the voters, avoid setting a bad precedent, protecting our environment, and providing long-term financial benefits.
