Phil Amicone is running for Mayor of Yonkers.

In his first-term, Mayor Amicone has made the reclamation and restoration of Yonkers' three great waterways - the Hudson, Saw Mill and Bronx Rivers - a top priority, reversing decades of neglect, pollution and lack of public access.

Other notable environmental accomplishments of his administration include the establishment of a Green Policy Task Force to monitor and propose environmental policy in the City of Yonkers; the creation of an Urban Green Space Initiative that is reclaiming mixed-use urban areas as new parkland; and Yonkers' admittance to the U.S. Mayors Against Climate Change and Cities for Climate Protection coalitions.

New environmental initiatives in his second term will include:

• Establishment of a new Green Buildings Policy for new development in downtown Yonkers
• Commissioning an energy and greenhouse gas emissions inventory of the City of Yonkers, aimed at reducing energy consumption and pollution
