Dear Mayor: green My school!

Jul 21

All Day, ALIGN & Climate Works for All coalition

Every student and school staff member deserves clean air and a safe, healthy place to learn and work, no matter their zip code.

Visit our table to learn about the Green, Healthy Schools campaign, which calls on Mayor Adams to invest in climate upgrades for 500 public school buildings by 2030. That means better ventilation, clean energy, heat relief, and more — starting in the communities most impacted by pollution and disinvestment. Our goal is to make all NYC schools emissions-free by 2040.

While you're here, write or draw a postcard to the Mayor to share what changes you want to see in your school or neighborhood. We'll deliver it to the mayor's office in the Fall.
