Around the world and home [EarthHour.org] Saturday March 28 8:30 pm


What is Earth Hour?

  • Earth Hour is a worldwide grassroots movement uniting people to protect the planet, and is organised by WWF. Engaging a massive mainstream community on a broad range of environmental issues, Earth Hour was famously started as a lights-off event in Sydney, Australia in 2007. 
Since then it has grown to engage more than 7000 cities and towns worldwide, and the one-hour event continues to remain the key driver of the now larger movement.

The first thing anyone can do to get involved is to turn off their [non-essential] lights on Saturday.
Visit Astoria Park at 8:30, enjoy the Greeting Garden and views.

Welcome to NYLCV EF's Calendar

www.nylcvef.org/newsroom/releases/1631


This year's election will usher in a new generation of elected leadership in New York City. In addition to three citywide posts, voters will elect four new borough presidents and a whopping 19 new members of the City Council this fall.

The forums will discuss parks & open space, public transit, waterfront development, and more.
Where exactly do members of this next generation of leadership stand on the critical sustainability issues facing the city -- issues like post-Sandy rebuilding, sustainable transportation, clean air and water, and waterfront development?
Throughout the summer, NYLCVEF will bring voters and candidates together to discuss these issues and more at a series of candidate forums. These free, non-partisan events will cover a wide range of sustainability concerns and allow voters to find out where the candidates stand, in their own words.
