Now we’re talking
APRIL 19th - APRIL 26th 2025
We’ve got the trees.
We’ve got the shoreline.
We’ve got the ferry that’s always on time—and buses that never are.
We’ve got neighbors who know everyone and someone’s cousin who can “take care of that.”
And now?
We’ve got a whole week to show the rest of the city how it’s done.
This is Climate Week—Staten Island style.
Less talk. More doing. No fluff. Just action.
WHy US
Staten Island is already the greenest borough in NYC.
No, really:
— Most parks
— Most trees
— Longest shoreline
But we’ve also seen what happens when nobody shows up—
flooded streets, trashed parks, rising temps, and neighborhoods left behind.
We’re not waiting for someone else to fix it. We do what Staten Islanders do: we show up.
You’ll see events all week long—organized by neighbors, schools, orgs, and businesses.
🧼 Cleanups — parks, shorelines, streets
🌱 Tree plantings & green projects — real, hands-on work
🎤 Panels & convos — straight talk from locals
🎨 Pop-ups & creative actions — because climate work can be fresh
You don’t need to be a policy expert.
You just need to care.
Upcoming events.
For the Grid, For the Planet.
