Ordinary people are building an emissions-free future in the Hudson Valley community of Croton-on-Hudson, NY; one heat pump, solar installation, electric school bus — and much more — at a time. Croton has been recognized as New York State’s #1 Clean Energy Community. Croton100, a climate group, celebrates their little town’s decarbonizing momentum with a series of beautifully crafted quilts depicting sustainability actions by government, businesses, public facilities and households. From Emmy-winning, Academy Award–nominated filmmakers Susan Todd and Andrew Young (Backyard Wilderness, Netflix; Lives in Hazard, NBC).
“The Little Town That Could is a fantastic demonstration of what a community can achieve when engaged residents work alongside their local government to create a more sustainable future.”
— New York State Senator Pete Harckham
“I was surprised to learn that Croton received the #1 clean energy status in New York State, but not at all surprised that Susan Todd and Andy Young [principals of Archipelago Films] made yet another charming and beautiful film. Don’t miss it!”
— Kathleen Williamson, Films on Purpose
The Little Town’s spirit is lifted by Americana artists, The New Students, offering a reprisal from Greta’s Song, “we are the change and change is coming.”
