The EEC participates regularly at two annual Ewing events, the annual National Night Out in August and Community Fest [CommFest], in late September or early October.  Look for the EEC table to catch up on local environmental news and talk to EEC members.  In addition, the EEC is involved in other outreach events as occasions require, such as the Summer of 2014’s drive to petition the Christie Administration to remain a participant in the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative.

Check out our Environmental Quizzes conducted at CommFest.  Can you answer all of the questions correctly?
