Coming full circle. ⭕

We couldn’t close for the season without first talking about Hole #18.

No Mini Golf course is complete without a windmill. The one you’ll find at Hole #18, holds greater significance than just its aesthetic appeal.

Shoot the Breeze: Back to the Future with Wind Energy by Alison Simko and Kate Mulhauser, displays a windmill to remind us of where we came from and where we are headed.

Windmills powered life for settlers of New Amsterdam, and the city’s seal even features 17th c. windmill blades. To meet renewable power goals, NY State is developing offshore wind farms, returning to an energy source used 400 years ago.

Today, New York State is developing offshore wind farms that will power millions of homes. Within 10 years, energy generated by wind will provide 70% of the state’s electrical power. By 2040, New York State aims to produce 100% carbon-free power, an ambitious goal achievable only with wind power. 🌬

Hole #16, Fore-ward Thinking by Engineering & Design Firm, WSP, is making us appreciate living in a city where extensive and accessible public transportation systems are all around us! Cities like ours score high on the sustainability and social equity scale in comparison to suburban and rural areas.

For example, New York City's subway system can take you to any of its 472 stations emissions-free, making it a climate-conscious choice for city dwellers.

When you can, opt for the train!
