For Long Islanders such as Suffolk Green Party secretary Ian Wilder, Earth Day is a time to engage in serious conversations about issues such as climate change.
“We use it to discuss going deeper than the swirly lightbulb,” said Wilder, referring to energy-efficient compact fluorescent lightbulbs. “We should have offshore wind, like they do in Europe. We should have solar panels on flat roofs.”
