Now weβre talking
APRIL 19th - APRIL 26th 2025
Weβve got the trees.
Weβve got the shoreline.
Weβve got the ferry thatβs always on timeβand buses that never are.
Weβve got neighbors who know everyone and someoneβs cousin who can βtake care of that.β
And now?
Weβve got a whole week to show the rest of the city how itβs done.
This is Climate WeekβStaten Island style.
Less talk. More doing. No fluff. Just action.
WHy US
Staten Island is already the greenest borough in NYC.
No, really:
β Most parks
β Most trees
β Longest shoreline
But weβve also seen what happens when nobody shows upβ
flooded streets, trashed parks, rising temps, and neighborhoods left behind.
Weβre not waiting for someone else to fix it. We do what Staten Islanders do: we show up.
Youβll see events all week longβorganized by neighbors, schools, orgs, and businesses.
π§Ό Cleanups β parks, shorelines, streets
π± Tree plantings & green projects β real, hands-on work
π€ Panels & convos β straight talk from locals
π¨ Pop-ups & creative actions β because climate work can be fresh
You donβt need to be a policy expert.
You just need to care.
