Working with Lauren and Sustainable Westchester, I was exposed to a grassroots collective of like-minded individuals and citizens looking to tackle the challenge of reducing energy consumption and living a healthier, more sustainable lifestyle. The team at Sustainable Westchester approached the many citizens of the different towns and villages as friends and not just business projections. The project I got to work on, in particular, was setting up the bones of an automatic tracking and message system that would send relevant information to customers at different points of their home energy efficiency journeys. The biggest takeaway was the connections made between the different staff at Sustainable Westchester and working with other organizers and workers who I have come to rely on in other jobs and as a support system.
