Every year since 2008, governments, businesses and organizations meet in New York City for Climate Week NYC. With this year’s event scheduled to take place just weeks before the U.S. presidential election, its theme is “For a more prosperous America.”

According to the event website, “Climate Week NYC is an annual summit bringing together the world’s leading businesses and governments and an exciting array of public-facing events, all focused on driving a swift, massive scaling-up of clean technologies to create jobs and boost the economy.” The week-long initiative will officially launch on Monday, September 24, 2012 and run through Sunday, September 30.

What makes Climate Week NYC such an important event? Climate change poses very serious threats to America and its communities. As we look forward, we must work harder than ever to create a sustainable future for U.S. families.

National Public Lands Day: Help Make a Difference

Posted on by

In 1994, a handful of federal agencies and just 500 volunteers organized America’s first National Public Lands Day. This year, the tradition will continue on Saturday, September 29. But what’s it all about, and how can you get involved?

According to the initiative’s website, “National Public Lands Day (NPLD) is the nation’s largest, single-day volunteer event for public lands.” Almost 200,000 volunteers participated in the 2011 event, covering 2,067 nationwide. Together they:

  • Built and/or maintained approximately 1,500 miles of hiking trails
  • Cleaned up about 500 tons of garbage
  • Planted an estimated 100,000 plants including trees and shrubbery

We all want to continue to enjoy our nation’s public lands, which include Yosemite National Park and Niagara Falls State Park. Therefore, events like NPLD are super-important. That’s why big names like Toyota and Northrop Grumman sponsor the initiative annually.
