Permaculture and Urban Eco-System Design
Permaculture and Urban Eco-System Design
Permaculture has the potential to transform the future, but first we have to bring it mainstream. How do we scale permaculture to redesign the massive agricultural, food, and consumer culture systems for long-term health and sustainability? What is the way forward given the sociopolitical challenges we currently face? How can a focus on local actions collectively alter a global system?

March for Science New York City
March for Science New York City
The March for Science is a celebration of our passion for science and a call to support and safeguard the scientific community. Recent policy changes have caused heightened worry among scientists, and the incredible and immediate outpouring of support has made clear that these concerns are also shared by hundreds of thousands of people around the world. The mischaracterization of science as a partisan issue, which has given policymakers permission to reject overwhelming evidence, is a critical and urgent matter. It is time for people who support scientific research and evidence-based policies to take a public stand and be counted.

Lightfoot Market
Lightfoot Market
Lightfoot Market is a pop-up event for sustainable businesses and conscientious shoppers. We created this market to showcase vendors and products with a strong commitment to sustainability. While that word gets thrown around a lot, to us “sustainability” refers to a company’s environmental, social and economic initiatives that not only create successful long-term business goals, but also contribute to the well-being of our planet and its communities.
You’ll find thoughtfully curated goods, food, speakers and more.
