IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT

Due to budget cuts, Big Reuse is no longer collecting food scrap drop-off. This means the garden will NOT be collecting food scraps from the public this season. We encourage you to participate in DSNY's curbside composting program.

Watch this video to learn more.

Estes kits de meias lindíssimos a venda na @greeninbklyn são de algodão reciclado e vêm em número ímpar, assim você já tem reposição quando lá se vai um... Não são iguaiszinhas não, mas que combinam, ah, combinam. Ideia boa a gente pode copiar. #nyczerowaste (em Brooklyn, New York)

Apparently NYC Sanitation sees no value in children’s art making, education or creativity. They also apparently promote bad parenting. As some who has dedicated their life to art and education, I am astonished by your poor decision making and lack of creativity. If you’d taken art class more seriously you could’ve come up with a better ad. @nycsanitation @nyczerowaste #nyc #artseducation @mtaartsdesign @artsconnection @studioinaschool #art @nycrecycles (at 520 8th Ave) https://www.instagram.com/p/B6RX4S0FEwN/?igshid=13ap6ihgnzprh

Soil Scientists’ Advice to Urban Gardeners: Test for Lead

(photo: @NYCzerowaste)

In the past few years, the issue of soil contamination has gained the attention of environmental groups in New York City. New Yorkers have ample reason to be concerned about their soil. While the city is cleaner than it used to be, decades of pollution left our local soil thick with toxic levels of heavy metals. For years, the presence and persistence of these toxicants were unknown, posing risks to all urban residents.

Fortunately, public support for environmental protection has rehabilitated much of our city soil. But, there is still more that New Yorkers can do, and Climate Change Week NYC is a good time for us to consider how activities like urban gardening and farming can be done in a way that is both healthy for humans and helps to improve the environment and potentially mitigate climate change.

Abating contaminated soil with organic matter helps reduce greenhouse gas emissions because compost sequesters carbon, diverting it from the atmosphere.
