Earth Day 5K Green Tour 2019

Join our Earth Day 5K Green Tour! The tour is a fantastic way to get outside on Earth Day and get involved with some of the great green groups around NYC! No atheticism required. This is not a race. It's just a great way to get outside on Earth Day and explore some of the great green sites around the city. All new sites this year might include:

• A river education lab right on the Hudson River,
• A zero-waste office,
• A state-of-the-art NYC Department of Sanitation facility, and
• A rooftop farm.*

Remaining start times that still have availability are 10:20 am, 12:00 pm, 12:20 pm, and 12:40 pm. The tour will then last approximately two hours after your start time. Please get in touch if you have a preferred start time. *Sites listed are tentative and are subject to change.

You'll travel from site to site and learn about what each group is doing on the ground to help green the city. The tour is great for school groups, employee engagement teams, or anyone who wants to learn more about some of the environmental work being done right around the corner.
