Saturday Nov 14: Bronx action on the environment
The climate justice movement is on a roll. We were so excited to hear that people power finally beat back the Keystone XL Pipeline last week — but here at Bronx Climate Justice North we’re not sitting back to relax!
Can you join us for a special public forum tomorrow about the future of the Bronx? Here are all the details:
WHAT: Made in the Bronx: Green Buildings, Green Jobs
WHEN: Saturday, November 14th, 2:00-5:00 PM
WHERE: Smith Auditorium, Manhattan College, Riverdale section of the Bronx

2015 is on track to be the warmest year on record. Climate change threatens our economy, infrastructure, public health, food and water — and NYC’s future.
Buildings account for close to 72% of U.S. electricity use, and contribute to high asthma rates in the Bronx. We need a rapid and just shift off fossil fuels and on to a 100% renewable energy economy.
Our speakers will focus on the transition to renewables and exciting initiatives here in the Bronx to build a green, local workforce, as well as green housing for all.
Hope to see you there,
Jennifer Scarlott for Bronx Climate Justice North
