Getting to Hanover
I came to Hanover in part to plug directly into sustainability issues. I've worked on these in the past, installing electric vehicle charges in South Orange way back in 2013, creating plastic bag recycling programs, reducing energy usage in buildings, greening fleets and so much more. Now, Hanover has gone well above and beyond what most communities have done, especially from an energy standpoint. But now I have to make a decision: where will I put my energy (sorry, bad jokes come with me) on sustainability issues in Hanover?
