The Environmental Advocates of New York, a nonprofit watchdog group, recognized Assemblyman Jeffrey Dinowitz for his environmental record in Albany.
The Assembly, with the support of Dinowitz and other state lawmakers, passed three of the environmental community’s 2007 "Super Bills." Several environmental goals of the proposed laws include improving recycling of water and beverage bottles; closing a loophole in wetlands protection across New York; and using funds generated from the auction of state carbon dioxide emission credits to promote energy efficiency.
"Working to protect the environment is one of my main priorities in Albany," the assemblyman said in a statement. "These bills represent some of the steps we can take to help make New York a leader in ecologically-friendly thinking."

Welcome to the Norwood News, a bi-weekly community newspaper that primarily serves the northwest Bronx communities of Norwood, Bedford Park, Fordham and University Heights. Through our Breaking Bronx blog, we focus on news and information for those neighborhoods, but aim to cover as much Bronx-related news as possible. Founded in 1988 by Mosholu Preservation Corporation, a not-for-profit affiliate of Montefiore Medical Center, the Norwood News began as a monthly and grew to a bi-weekly in 1994. In September 2003 the paper expanded to cover University Heights and now covers all the neighborhoods of Community District 7. The Norwood News exists to foster communication among citizens and organizations and to be a tool for neighborhood development efforts. The Norwood News runs the Bronx Youth Journalism Heard, a journalism training program for Bronx high school students.
