Urban Rivers – Putting A Mile-Long Floating Garden On The Chicago River

Thu, 04/18/2024 - 00:00

Urban Rivers is a Chicago-based nonprofit, looking for donations and volunteers as we create a park on the east side of Goose Island in the Chicago River, along the banks of Whole Foods' Lincoln Park store.

As of June 2017, the park grew to 1,500 square feet, and we are now fundraising for an additional 25,000 square feet that will be installed in 2018.

Our larger goal is a mile-long park by 2020!

The Green Streets Initiative of Cambridge - Take Back the Tarmac!

Sat, 04/13/2024 - 00:00

The Green Streets Initiative is a Cambridge, MA based organization, founded in 2006. We are dedicated to celebrating and promoting the use of sustainable and active transportation in the Boston region and beyond.

Our mission is to get people to rethink their commutes through our monthly Walk/Ride Days. For most people, commuting is a thoughtless action, just a repetitive extension to their morning routine. Walk/Ride Days were started to combat this gap by encouraging people to become more aware of their transportation options and to increase the dialogue about the alternatives.

The “Cambridge Compact for a Sustainable Future” lays out a framework for signatories to work in a more coordinated and robust fashion to tackle local sustainability challenges.
