Since April 22, 1970 - the first-ever Earth Day, organized by a US Senator from Wisconsin, Gaylord Nelson - billions of people from over 193 countries have worked each year to mark the day with acts of community service, planting trees, cleaning up their neighborhoods, learning about climate change and more.
Join the Brooklyn Greenway Initiative for a morning of gardening and stewardship at both the Naval Cemetery Landscape and the neighboring Brooklyn Waterfront Greenway! Volunteers will be guided in identifying and removing invasive species growing in the area as well as aerating tree pits, removing trash and more. Volunteers will meet with members of the Brooklyn Greenway Initiative and have the chance to learn more about the area's ecology.
Enjoy a car-free Earth Day through an expansion of the NYC Department of Transportation's Open Streets program in Sunset Park! The event closes off certain select streets to cars, allowing for more foot traffic and cycling opportunities. Riders can take advantage of this by using the promo code CARFREE24 in the Citi Bike app.
