SUMMARY:350NYC Divest: Working Group
DESCRIPTION:Join the 350NYC Divest Working Group to hear how fellow New Yorkers are combating climate change by encouraging the city to divest in fossil fuels. \n350.org is building a global grassroots movement to solve the climate crisis. Their online campaigns\, grassroots organizing\, and mass public actions are led from the bottom up by thousands of volunteer organizers\, like 350NYC\, in over 188 countries. \n350 means climate safety. To preserve our planet\, scientists tell us we must reduce the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere from its current level of 392 parts per million to below 350 ppm. But 350 is more than a number—it’s a symbol of where we need to head as a planet. \nThe Climate Math \nWe can only burn 565 more gigatons of carbon dioxide and stay below 2°C of warming — anything more than that risks catastrophe for life on earth. Fossil fuel corporations now have 2\,795 gigatons in their coal\, oil and gas reserves\, five times the safe amount. These companies must keep 80% of their fossil fuels underground. \nMaking New York City’s Investments Fossil Free \nThe bottom line is this: divestment is the only moral choice for governments that care about their citizens. Solving the climate crisis is the only practical choice for governments that care about their solvency. \n\nTo learn more\, visit: http://350nyc.org/

SUMMARY:Riverkeeper Day of Service
DESCRIPTION:In just four years\, the annual Riverkeeper Sweep has grown from 30 clean-up and stewardship sites in 2012 to 100 — and possibly more — this year.\nAs more people become engaged in restoring the Hudson River and its tributaries\, the Sweep — to be held on Saturday\, May 9 — will make a visible impact in communities from Red Hook in South Brooklyn to Troy in the Capital District. Registration is open at www.riverkeeper.org/sweep. Volunteers will be provided with gloves and trash bags.\nIn the first three years of the Sweep\, volunteers removed more than 75 tons of trash from our shorelines\, planted or maintained hundreds of shoreline trees\, and performed other service projects to improve public access to the Hudson River and its tributaries.\nDana Gulley\, Riverkeeper’s Manager of Strategic Partnerships\, Outreach and Volunteer Programs\, said: “Sweep volunteers remove items big and small\, from tiny pieces of broken down Styrofoam to discarded tires and plastic lawn furniture. Removing these items from our shoreline and waterways not only protects wildlife and the ecology of our rivers and streams\, but also works to reduce future dumping and littering.”\nThe Sweep is powered by more than 100 partnerships including schools\, scout troops\, businesses and community groups. Some 150 local Sweep leaders help drive volunteerism. Examples of new sites and partnerships include:\nThe New York State Department of Environmental Conservation Hudson River Estuary Program’s “Trees for Tribs” initiative\, which focuses on tree-planting to improve water quality and habitat. This brings the Sweep further north and deeper into the watershed with two tree planting projects and six tree-maintenance projects along several Hudson tributaries.\nIn Brooklyn\, Riverkeeper has several new Sweep sites this year\, including the East River State Park\, Newtown Creek and the Thomas Greene Playground on the Gowanus Canal. (The waters around New York City\, including the East and Harlem Rivers\, the Newtown Creek and Gowanus Canal\, are part of the Hudson River Estuary.)\nIn Rockland County\, Riverkeeper continues its partnership with Keep Rockland Beautiful and will add Emeline Park and Bowline Park to the county’s Sweep sites. Rockland sites are also being sponsored by the newly-formed Rockland Water Task Force this year.\nIn 2015\, Riverkeeper has partnered with several land conservancies\, including the Greene Land Trust\, Columbia Land Conservancy\, the Westchester Land Trust and the Rensselaer Land Trust.\n“The Riverkeeper Sweep is a wonderful opportunity to partner with other organizations that are about protecting our watershed and waterways\,” said Sonia Cairo\, Keep Rockland Beautiful’s Executive Director. “We are pleased to have five sites in Rockland this year where volunteers can participate in the clean-up. The Sweep also helps draw attention to the important link between our storm drains and our waterways.”\nAt least eleven local breweries have signed on as partners this year\, offering a post-event beverage to volunteers.\nThe Sweep is the signature New York event in the Waterkeeper Alliance SPLASH Series\, presented by Toyota and designed to connect people to their waterways. Other sponsors include the Insurance Industry Charitable Foundation\, Rocket Fuel\, Ironshore\, EILEEN FISHER\, Paragon Sports\, Sprout Watches\, VOS Selections\, JSA Financial\, Orvis\, the Johnny Mac Tennis Project\, Pleasant Valley Stone and these individuals: Joe and Daryl Boren\, and John and Gillett Gilbert. \nPhoto courtesy of: www.riverkeeper.org/sweep

SUMMARY:Hurricane Sandy anniversary planting in the Rockaways
DESCRIPTION:For the two year anniversary of Hurricane Sandy\, Rockaway Waterfront Alliance (RWA) is bringing people of all ages together to create a nature protective buffer for the Rockaway community. \nAs we learned from the storm\, the natural vegetation and dunes that exist off our shores served as a protective buffer to the homes and businesses that exist in these areas. Many of these dunes were compromised by the storm and need to be replenished to be effective. \nFamilies and people of all ages are welcome to participate in this dune restoration planting & biomimicry project. Students can receive community service hours. No registration is required. This event is rain or shine\, so please dress accordingly. \nSpecial thanks to NY State Department of Environmental Conservation and National Fish & Wildlife Foundation for their support. \nFor more Rockaway Waterfront Alliance events\, visit the organization’s website. \nSource: New York City Parks Department
