Where?

The Governor's Island Harbor School farm is a small-medium sized super clean farm in front of the school and thrives with wildlife. Even though there's trash and recycling bins all over the island there is still a lot of trash around the island, however this problem can be easily solved by the community picking up any trash they see and properly sorting it.  This is very important because properly sorting materials can result in healthy soil for food to grow, and less pollution.  Organic collection is collect at the school and turned into compost.  By using food scraps and waste it can benefit the harbor farm by making nice soil for food to grow.  Additionally to help with zero waste you can re-use and recycle objects so that it doesn't go to waste! We do this work with Earth Matter. See more info:  https://earthmatter.org/


New York Harbor School Marine Affairs students will engage with partners to map Governors Island and its Climate Engagement. Students will create a Green Maps of Governors Islands' Relationship to SDGs - the Sustainable Development Goals, climate education, climate change vulnerabilities, innovation approaches to climate solutions, and bring waste to the visible eye. These maps will aid in students engaging in their community, displaying incorrectness and education to the public during climate week. Student-led and student-created. This will be something that will live and evolve each climate week as our city and world revolve around emerging climate issues. This student will swing back to update and evaluate our local and global progress.
