 On Long Island in Southern New York  Borders Richmond County, Queens County and Manhattan County 2

Kings County is suburban in some parts and urban in others. Here are a few images of the terrain in my county … 3

Kings County is in the Atlantic ocean and Long Island Watershed. The Hudson River runs into Kings County 4

The city of Brooklyn is a habitat for pigeons. The Hudson River is a habitat for bass and other fish. 5

Important industries in Kings County are transportation and warehousing, health care and social assistance, and finally educational services 6

WATERSHED HEALTH Watershed name: What percentage of rivers has poor water quality? What percentage of lakes has poor water quality? Overall percentage with poor water quality? 30%8%38% What percentage of rivers has good water quality? What percentage of lakes has good water quality? Overall percentage with good water quality? 17%1%18% Caption: My watershed has more poor water than good water. 7

ENERGY What region is your county located in? NPCC NYC/Westchester Type of Energy% of County Energy Composition Renewable1% Hydroelectric0% Nuclear39.9% Oil1.3% Gas57.4% Coal0% 8

Different types of waste facilities in Kings County include transfer stations, waste-to-energy stations, recycling facilities, and composting facilities 9

I think the definition of a climate smart community is a community that tries to prevent climate change. For example, by getting only local vegetables you are preventing the emission of CO 2 coming from the trucks being driven to get the fresh vegetables from outside the city to you 10

The Envirothon is an environmental education program that teaches kids countrywide on how to make the environment better. 11

A bad energy mix is a problem. They use a lot of nuclear energy for power They should try using another type of energy like cellulosic biomass energy because they have a high potential for it They should have fundraisers t0 make money for environmental programs 12

Any questions? Did you know? The only town in Kings County is Brooklyn! 13
