The Atlantic Avenue Business Improvement District partnered with the NYC Department of Transportation to enhance community space and promote sustainable living, emphasizing the importance of environmental activism. Kelly Carroll, the BID's executive director, stressed the need for such initiatives to foster a shared commitment to the planet.
"Earth Day should be every day," Kelly Carroll said, emphasizing the importance of the Open Streets events to promote sustainable practices and community engagement.
"Car-Free Earth Day is so important," Carroll added, highlighting the value of creating public spaces that allow communities to enjoy their local environment.
