Senator Sanders to Host Earth Week Expo; Free Compost and Rain Barrels

Senator James Sanders Jr. (Rochdale Village, Far Rockaway) is hosting an Earth Week Expo in recognition of this important time of the year when we examine how to make our planet a better place through positive environmental practices.
 
This Earth Week Expo will be educational and interactive fun for the whole family as we discuss the everyday steps we can take as a community to combat climate change. There will also be information about green jobs, the usage of renewable energy sources, urban gardening, recycling, composting, using rain barrels to conserve water, healthy eating, and much more.

Senator Sanders recently introduced a Green New Deal for New York, legislation which establishes a task force to plan how to make our state greenhouse gas emissions neutral by 2030 by transitioning from a fossil fuel-based economy to one based entirely on clean renewable energy. The goal is to prevent the catastrophic consequences of climate change, promote economic growth and job creation, and provide a just transition to benefit of all New Yorkers. 
 
Join us in our mission to make the earth a better place for future generations to thrive and flourish.
 
The Earth Week Expo will take place on Saturday, April 27, 2019 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at PS 52, located at
178-37 146^th Terrace, Jamaica, NY 11434.
