March Weekender| NYC Green Events
Here's the curated list of volunteer and social opportunities for NYC environmentalists from March 7th through 9th.
Hi friend,
When was the last time you reexamined one of your habits? As spring slowly unfurls, I’m excited to take a look at how I’ve been spending my energy so far this year. Where can I slow down? Where can I be more intentional? Where can I build more connection? Where can I invite more joy and spaciousness? I decided to play with a weekend climate events newsletter this week because I could not bring myself to lug a laptop on Amtrak this past weekend when I went down to Virginia to celebrate my mom’s birthday. Connection over routine.
🌎, Jasmine
