In 2004 the Town of Caroline became the 8^th municipality in New York to purchase windpower to provide for part of its municipal electrical needs. Response was positive from community members, with encouragement to raise funds necessary to provide for 100% of our electrical needs in 2005.

If you would like to contribute to reducing our use of fossil fuels at a local level please call Ed Cope. 539-6391, or the town clerk at 539-6400, or simply send a check made out to Town of Caroline and mail to the Caroline Town Supervisor, 2670 Slaterville Rd, Slaterville Springs, NY.

We will need to raise $2500 since the cost of windpower is currently about 8% above the price of conventional energy sources. The list of all donors (unless requested not to) will be published when the town commits, by resolution, to the purchase of the windpower this year.

Your contribution will:

• Show that energy efficiency and the use of renewable energy can be practiced at the local level.
• Reduce the emissions of carbon dioxide, nitrogen oxide, and sulfur oxide.
• Decrease our dependence on fossil fuels.
• Help the Town of Caroline continue to be a leader in environmental issues.
