Meet Bayside's 'Queen of Living Green'

Emily Vaill Pfaff urges citizens to develop sustainable practices so future generations don't suffer.

For over 15 years, Emily Vaill Pfaff of Bayside has been eating organic foods, recycling as much as possible, saving energy and engaging in many other key aspects of a "green" lifestyle. “Every bedroom has a recycling basket, and at every desk there is a recycling receptacle.

"Lightning strikes, and so on." Meanwhile, medical calls are down, and the department is still on pace to handle roughly …
