SUMMARY:Washed Up Transforming a Trashed Landscape Alejandro Duran
DESCRIPTION:Photo credit: Alejandro Duran \nWashed Up is an ongo­ing project by Mexican-born\, New York-based artist Ale­jan­dro Durán that addresses the issue of plas­tic pol­lu­tion mak­ing its way across the ocean and onto the shores of Sian Ka’an\, Mexico’s largest federally-protected reserve. With more than twenty pre-Colombian archae­o­log­i­cal sites\, this UNESCO World Her­itage site is also home to a vast array of flora and fauna and the world’s sec­ond largest coastal bar­rier reef. Unfor­tu­nately\, Sian Ka’an is also a repos­i­tory for the world’s trash\, which is car­ried there by ocean cur­rents from many parts of the globe. \nWhen: Octo­ber 29\, 2014 to Feb­ru­ary 28\, 2015 \nHours: Tues­day — Sat­ur­day\, 12:00–5:00 P.M. \nWhere: Hunter Col­lege East Harlem Art Gallery\, 2180 Third Avenue at 119th Street New York NY 10035 \nFor more infor­ma­tion\, please visit: http://​www​.hunter​.cuny​.edu/​e​a​s​t​h​a​r​l​e​m​-​a​r​t​g​a​l​l​ery

SUMMARY:Transition Neighborhoods Strategy Session
DESCRIPTION:Make your neighborhood more sustainable and resilient with Transition Neighborhoods (TN). \nBe part of the New York resilience resistance. Find out about the TN resilience-building process that is gaining momentum throughout the city. Mark your calendars and learn about how you can be part of a weekend festival on June 26-28\, in the Rockaways\, that will celebrate the Transitioning of New York city toward resilience\, and highlight the revitalization of community health and food security in the Rockaways. Anticipate inspiring Transition movement presentations\, hands-on urban gardening demonstration projects\, environmental art exhibits\, and tours of resident-driven permaculture installations. \nThe Transition movement is a community organizing response to climate change\, resource depletion and financial instability\, with over 1\,100 Transition groups in 44 countries and over 150 initiatives in the US. \nIt starts with neighbors reaching out to neighbors to convene a series of small group meetings. By going through chapters of a Transition Neighborhoods​ (TN) Field Guide\, participants strengthen their sense of place\, build relationships\, promote local food\, and map their neighborhood’s current state of resiliency\, looking at aspects of its operation such as food\, energy\, water\, waste\, consumption and transportation. It’s a practical and enlightening neighborhood resilience-building discovery process that deepens and celebrates neighborhood culture. \nThe Transition model has been successful in hundreds of communities worldwide. The TN Field Guide adapts that process to the specific needs of NYC and other big urban communities. The goal is to proactively redesign cities to be much less reliant on fossil fuels and much more resilient\, with an improved quality of life. Groups are now forming in over 15 NYC neighborhoods\, including the Upper West Side\, the Lower East Side\, Bed-Stuy\, Flatbush\, and Flushing. \nNYC already leads the nation in greening efforts\, so why Transition? It’s because government and individual efforts are necessary but insufficient responses to climate change. Transition’s neighborhood-scale\, multi-issue approach is unique. By bringing neighbors together\, connecting them to already-existing resources and catalyzing them to set up visible local projects\, it complements existing efforts – such as yours. \nTo find out more about making your neighborhood a Transition Neighborhood along with meeting other inspiring New Yorkers\, come to our next meeting at the Friends Meeting House on 15 Rutherford Place between 2nd and 3rd Avenues near Union Square on Friday\, February 20\, 7 PM. Pamela Boyce Simms\, convener and lead trainer of the seven-state Mid-Atlantic Transition Hub\, will talk about how to measure and improve food security in your neighborhood\, and the Transition training in March. There will be breakout sessions for newbies – ‘Transition 101′ – and coaching sessions for already organized neighborhood groups. \nVisit transitionmidatlantic.org and transitionnyc.org for more information.
