Sustainable Finger Lakes

Tomorrow is Giving Tuesday – the annual national celebration of the nonprofits that work to protect people and our planet — an appropriate follow-on to our expressions of gratitude on Thanksgiving Day and spasms of consumerism from Black Friday to Cyber Monday! We are asking for your support for Sustainable Finger Lakes in this year of growth and transition. Please visit https://sustainablefingerlakes.org/support-us/ today and join our Board of Directors and staff in weaving together our regional movement.

This is a photo of Mercer Lake at Mercer County Park in New Jersey taken by Milena Bimpong, our Tenant Engagement Coordinator. New Jersey is Milena’s home state, and she offset her trip back home in October to take the GRE. She is currently applying to environmental policy graduate programs, so taking this exam was one important step in the application process!

Whether traveling for an exam like Milena, or traveling for the holiday season, offset with the Finger Lakes Climate Fund and support Sustainable Finger Lakes this Giving Tuesday!

We just awarded our 80th Climate Fund grant to a lower-income family, and have continued supporting our regional movement through our Neighborhood MiniGrants and Finger Lakes Forecast webinars. Meanwhile, we have been extremely busy tackling some of the more difficult barriers in helping lower-income folks join the clean energy transition. (You will be hearing shortly from us about our major grant from NYSERDA to pay for heat pumps in low-income Ithaca rentals.) What you may not realize is that much of the money we raise goes back out in grants and heat pump subsidies to other people, and it is a constant challenge to cover our own operating costs. That’s why we need your support to help us run these programs and keep our 18-year old organization going strong!

We also want to invite you to share your stories of how you are walking your talk and weaving sustainability into your own life. Check out Cathleen Banford’s post below for inspiration! Send me your photo and a caption and we can add our badge and share your story on our social media to inspire others.
Together we make our future!

“Words Into Deeds has been empowering students to learn about how dynamic systems work together, taking the time to look at the many related issues that come together at a problem point. This allows them to see solutions to shift the system, rather than just applying Band-Aid fixes. It’s a way to repair systems that aren’t working for people by starting right in school and having students think about how things work.”

(Tompkins Weekly, 11-23-22, by Cathleen Banford) Where do young people learn about social systems and how they interconnect and how to empower themselves to influence positive changes in their lives? While the political arena is often dripping with divisiveness and too many politicians out of touch….
