A local salon proved this afternoon that fashion can be environmentally friendly.

Trü Salon hosted the "Fashion on the Green" show for Earth Day Sunday at the Penfield Country Club.

News10NBC’s own Nikki Rudd was there to emcee the event. Many of the models are dancers from Garth Fagan dance.

The event also featured raffles and silent auctions and the money raised goes to support clean water projects in New York State.

We spoke with salon owner who told us why it was important to hold events like this for Earth Day.

"We just need to protect our water and our air and out earth so it's really important to draw awareness. Every day can be Earth day you know every day we have to think about what we can do to make a difference and make just little changes that can make a world of difference,” stylist and owner of Trü, Julie Judge, told News10NBC.

Town of  Penfield is to open Monroe County's first publicly available charging station for electric cars.

A major move to clean up our environment has been made by electrical engineer and owner of the LTHS Solar Company, Bob Kanauer. He has been generous enough to donate the project engineering and charging station equipment needed to make this possible. The station will make its debut at the town's upcoming "Penfield Cleanup Day" Saturday, April 28, 9 a.m. to noon at the Community Center.

The cost to the town for the free charging station is about 33 cents per hour. One hour charge while visiting the Penfield Library would typically yield about 14 miles of charge to a car's battery.
