As an extension of our weekly "This Week in Westchester - The Podcast" we welcome you to Westchester, Explained. In this special long-form series we take you deeper into the headlines, decisions and policies shaping Westchester County and their impact on your family, your neighborhood and your future. Here we slow it down, dig in and bring in the people doing the work, and we explain not just what the County is doing, but why it matters.

Because government should be clear. This is your County. 

And this is Westchester, Explained. 

In this episode, we sit down with Westchester County Director of Energy Conservation and Sustainability Pete McCartt to explore how the County is leading the way in environmental stewardship and building a more sustainable future. We discuss everything from electric vehicles and renewable energy to recycling, composting and energy conservation, while introducing the County's new Green Initiatives Repository -- a first-of-its-kind resource that helps municipalities share successful sustainability programs and best practices. 

We also highlight simple steps residents can take to reduce waste, save energy and make a positive impact in their own communities. Join us as we take a closer look at the innovative work helping keep Westchester cleaner, greener and more resilient -- and why it matters to Westchester residents.
