Mahwah Environmental Commission

On Saturday, April 25, 2026, the Mahwah Environmental Commission hosted its 3rd Annual Green Fair at the Mahwah Senior Center. The event was held alongside the Commission's free tree seedling giveaway and the township's shredding day.

More than 70 residents explored 25 vendor tables, learning about sustainability, playing interactive games, answering trivia, and engaging directly with environmental experts. The fair continues to foster a welcoming environment for individuals eager to reduce their environmental footprint and help keep Mahwah green and clean.

The Mahwah Environmental Commission would like to thank all the vendors and volunteers who took the time out of their busy lives to help make the 3rd annual green fair a success!

We would also like to thank the Mahwah CERT team for keeping everyone safe in a very busy parking lot that day!

Please enjoy some photos from the day, and we hope you will join us at the 4th annual green fair in 2027!

Happy winter solstice, it only gets brighter from here!

The winter solstice in the Northern Hemisphere occurs annually on December 21 or 22 (December 21 in 2025), marking the shortest day and longest night of the year with the least daylight. This happens because Earth's axis tilts, positioning the Northern Hemisphere at its maximum distance from the Sun, so sunlight strikes at a lower angle and for fewer hours.

For millennia, the winter solstice has held profound significance for cultures across the globe. The deep winter darkness and the triumphant return of lengthening days have shaped ancient calendars, inspired seasonal customs, rituals, and rich storytelling traditions, many of which are still preserved and celebrated today in national parks through historic sites, interpretive programs, and modern observances.
