MISSION STATEMENT Our Green West Orange is a non-profit 501(c)3, located in West Orange, NJ. Board members, committee leaders, and group members are volunteers. Board officers are nominated by the board members, and serve a one (1) year term. Our Green West Orange (OGWO) is guided by three (3) principals, all based on transparency, education, public policy and practice, and enforcement of local, county, and state ordinances. Our Green West Orange: 1. Advocates for environmental policies and practices that promote positive sustainability and growth among businesses, residents, and the municipality as a whole; 2. Demands public safety take priority within West Orange during all steps of planning, reviewing, approving, monitoring, completing, and enforcing residential, municipal and county projects and eventual use; 3. Works to develop an affordable West Orange for residents and businesses by advocating for sound financial policy and practice at both township and county levels. Political Endorsements? Our Green West Orange does not endorse political candidates, nor individuals appointed to positions by elected officials. OGWO takes pride in endorsing issues that we as a collective of volunteers and residents feel move West Orange forward in an environmentally progressive and financially sound manner. We endorse practices and policies that promote the safety of the public, while respecting the wildlife and nature that call West Orange home. We support the work our elected and appointed officials provide in our mission to help make West Orange an environmentally and financially secure township, and one that promotes the safety and health of its residents. OGWO regularly commends those community members - elected, appointed, owners of businesses, residents, teachers, community leaders - on work they have and continue to do. As an advocacy organization, we are not shy to speak out against policies and practices that we as an organization feel threaten the successes of our mission. (Mission, as stated above.) Advocacy work that addresses concerns surrounding the environmental, public safety and affordability are bound to ruffle feathers. But we are not in the chicken business. We are in the non-profit advocacy business fighting for the safety and health of West Orange residents and the environment. (OGWO members decided they were tired of having their own

OUR GREEN WEST ORANGE z TOP NEWS WEST ESSEX HIGHLANDS AT THE PLANNING BOARD TONIGHT Tonight, December 11 at 6:30 p.m., the West Orange Planning Board continues hearing the West Essex Highlands application. The plan to put up four high-rise buildings with 500 apartments requires cutting down 6,300 trees, and could portend the disturbance of steep slopes and create the possibility of more flooding and traffic danger to the neighbors living near Oval Road. The Verona Town Council recently passed a resolution denouncing this development, which you can read about in The Four Oranges. There is a Zoom option, but for those who wish to question the developer's witnesses, it is essential that West Orange residents come to Town Hall, 66 Main
