DANBURY â Danbury Hospital will host the second Green Fair organized by a high-energy, employee-driven Green Team on Tuesday, October 26, from 8 am to 4 pm, in the Robilotti Conference Center, located adjacent to the 5 Tower Main Lobby.

The Danbury Hospital Green Fair is free and open to the public and is geared toward continuing education about becoming more environmentally friendly in day-to-day living. Featured presentations illustrate how to incorporate green principles at home and at work that help with energy efficiency and resource conservation that reduce impact on the environment.

Green Team members will show off eco-friendly green practices that are in place at the hospital, and what green initiatives are planned in the construction of the new tower. Special emphasis will also be placed on green principles that can be used at home.

Cellphones no longer in use will be collected for recycling, with photes to be donated to The Womenâs Center of Greater Danbury.

Eco-friendly companies who plan to participate in the event include UTC Carrier, BIOPUR, SLAM Collaborative, CL&P, Yankeegas, DNS (Digital Network Services), and TechniArt, a CT Energy Efficiency Fund (CEEF) retail and national Energy Star partner.

TechniArt will sell energy efficient lighting at below wholesale cost and offer expert advice on how to efficiently light homes and reduce energy expenses.

Town & Country Garden Club To Host Ballato On ‘Shady Characters’

The voters certainly spoke — and I respect the outcome — but let’s not forget that a “majority” doesn’t mean everyone agreed. Many of us are deeply concerned about the rising cost of living here. Supporting schools and services is important, but so is ensuring that residents can afford to stay in the town they love. We all want Newtown to be a great place to live, but lately, it’s starting to feel less like “Nicer in Newtown” and more like “More Expensive in Newtown.” That’s not sustainable, and it’s not a criticism of the town itself — it’s a call for responsible budgeting and long-term planning that doesn’t rely on tax increases year after year. I hope future decisions will reflect not just the desire to maintain services, but also the need to ease the financial burden on residents.

Budget, Capital Projects Pass: Officials Respond

I appreciate the passion behind this message, and I absolutely understand the desire to invest in our town. That said, I voted no — not because I don't care about Newtown, but because I do. Fiscal responsibility is not about ignoring problems, it’s about making sure we address them in a sustainable and transparent way. It’s frustrating to feel like every year there’s a new “urgent” reason to raise taxes, with little serious effort to curb spending or prioritize needs. I worry this just sets the stage for another round of increases next year. That doesn't mean I’m against education, safety, or our town’s future — it means I believe in accountability and in asking tough questions about how our money is managed. Voting no wasn't a rejection of Newtown — it was a call for more thoughtful, balanced leadership. I hope future conversations can include all perspectives, not just those willing to write a bigger check.

The Voters Chose Newtown

The voters spoke, loud and clear that they support our schools and municipal services. The majority vote was a mandate to keep delivering well rated education services and keep it" Nicer in Newtown."

Great effort by the those who attended to shine a light on the attacks on Democracy. Thanks for the article so all can understand whats happening.

Hundreds Attend ‘Rock This Democracy’ Rally

Thank you LeReine, for speaking out about this. The list of public servants who are unfairly targeted for abuse just for doing their jobs has been growing. It is a testament to the power of propaganda that otherwise good and well-meaning people can get so emotional as to act out in this way.
