The Power of Green: Tips to Help You Go Green and Save Some Green

As concern about the environment deepens, consumers – large and small, business and residential – are focusing on ways to promote and practice the intelligent use of energy. In many ways, the New York metropolitan region has a head start: our public transportation system and strict emission standards on industrial buildings have been a boon to creating a cleaner environment. Everyone agrees, however, that we can do even better as we join in the movement to “go green.” What we do today will profoundly affect generations to come.

Voelker Orth Museum, Bird Sanctuary & Victorian Garden


1 day 13 hours ago | webisode

The Voelker Orth Museum, Bird Sanctuary and Victorian Garden occupies a home that was purchased by a German immigrant named Conrad Voelcker who emigrated from Germany in 1881. After his death in 1930, the house became the home of his daughter, Theresa Voelker and her husband, Dr. Rudolph Orth. Their daughter, Elisabetha Orth, who lived in the house most of her life, in her will established the organization which now runs the museum. The immediate goal of the organization was the restoration of the Voelker Orth homestead.More than a century old, this house has been the home of a single family for nearly its entire history and has changed little since the days of Conrad Voelcker.
