In this episode I am Talking to Jennifer who works at the Lower East Side Ecology Center in New York City.
The center has been pioneering urban sustainability since 1987 and the work done there from education to the compost drop off and stewardship of the East River Park is of the utmost importance to keep the city green and its inhabitants healthy and connected to nature.
Jennifer tells us about the work that is done at the Center from Fishing & Waterfront Education to E-Waste Collection, composting, street tree care etc.
She tells us about how employees and volunteers work together to keep the Park healthy all year round and how anyone can get involved in making their city a greener, cleaner and healthier space.
We also Talk about the importance of nature in a city and how we can prevent or reduce different types of pollution in a city by urban greening, composting, providing bike lanes, . . .
Make sure to visit the Lower East Side Ecology Center's website here
and maybe even visit it if you are in NYC.
If you are a resident of the city (or any other city:)), make sure to inform yourself about composting and volunteering possibilities!
Thank you for listening💚
i appreciate your eager ears🌱

Stella
