High School Students Develop “Green Mamaroneck” App

Mamaroneck residents eager to lessen their environmental footprint can now help make the community greener, thanks to a new smartphone application developed by Mamaroneck High School (MHS) students involved in the OCRA (Original Civic Research and Action) program.

Through research, the students discovered that most residents would like to lessen their environmental footprint but are unsure of where to begin. Working with community mentors from the Town of Mamaroneck Sustainability Collaborative, OCRA students helped translate existing local initiatives into easy, actionable steps by building a simple-to-use app entitled Green Mamaroneck. Users will find a wide variety of topics ranging from water capture/reuse to energy-saving strategies.
