EPA Honors Suozzi with Environmental Award

Nassau County Executive Tom Suozzi is the founder of "Green Levittown," a unique initiative dedicated to making America's first suburb one of America's first green communities. Part of this project involved Suozzi and volunteers launching a door-to-door canvass, talking to thousands of school children, and holding community events to educate homeowners and families about how to make their homes "green" in order to increase energy efficiency and reduce their carbon footprint. Suozzi has established one of the largest alternative fuel vehicle programs in New York State, created a Green Fuels Filling Station Program, and upgraded several major county buildings with the New York Power Authority.
