January | Green Events Hub
Here's the curated list of volunteer and social opportunities for NYC environmentalists from January 8-14th.
Hi friend!
I hope you’re keeping warm and cozy during our “snow storm”. I ventured out to participate in a reading circle being hosted by the All We Can Save Project and Earth & Me (my favorite zero waste and refill store in the NYC area) and I’m looking forward to curling up with a book next to my Youtube fire with something warm to drink. If making it to in-person events is tough this week, consider checking out the webinar Surfrider Foundation is hosting about a plastics bill here in NY! As always, there are a ton of other great ways to plug into your neighborhood and I’ll see you back here next week.
🌎, Jasmine
