Another Green Initiative From Schenectady County

Schenectady County is partnering with Green Planet Products LLC to become the first municipality in New York State to begin testing 100 percent biodegradable motor oil. Susan E. Savage, Chair of the Schenectady County Legislature, announced this new “green” initiative at the League of Conservation Voters Eco-Breakfast where she was being honored with the Environmental Champion Award for efforts to make Schenectady County a leader in environmental policy.

Chair Savage and the Democratic Majority on the County Legislature have worked to position Schenectady County as a leader in renewable energy. This effort helped to attract GE’s Renewable Energy Headquarters and new Battery Plant to Schenectady County, creating more than a thousand new jobs in the years ahead.

From expanding park land to prioritizing climate smart practices, Schenectady County Democrats continue to work to make Schenectady a great place to live, work, and raise a family, not only for our current residents, but for generations to come.
