The Ewing Green Team is set to present the latest entry in its Environmental Insights Series, “What It Means to be an Environmentalist,” on Wednesday, February 24, 2016 beginning at 6:30 p.m. The series of environmental presentations is designed to engage area residents in a public conversation about critical environmental issues and to spark new ideas concerning sustainability.
The lecture will feature a presentation and discussion led by Joseph Mark Mirabella, Ewing Green Team and Ewing Environmental Commission member, former Environmental Science teacher and NJDEP enforcement supervisor.
Mirabella is currently the Central Regional Supervisor for the NJDEP Hazardous Waste Enforcement program. He is a former Environmental Science Teacher and has taught and lectured on environmental issues at NJ Colleges and Universities for the last 35 years. Currently, he works as a commissioner on the Ewing Township Redevelopment Agency and is a member of Ewing’s Environmental Commission & Sustainable Green Team.
The Ewing Green Team is an annually appointed Township Board and meets the fourth Wednesday of each month at the Ewing Senior and Community Center. In 2013 it was instrumental in documenting Ewing’s sustainable actions to achieve Ewing’s first ever Bronze Level certification from Sustainable Jersey, an organization that provides 400 registered NJ municipalities with actions and resources designed to help them to go green, save money and take steps to sustain their quality of life over the long term.
