Paris aggressively moves to have 50% of the city covered by fully porous, planted areas. New parkland, thickets of trees and green roofs planned. If executed, the entire character of the city will change. Plazas and squares will become green spaces. Bold! This is what leaders do.

Thank you councilmember @RLEspinal for recognizing the value of Elizabeth Street Garden & community gardens across #NYC. There are “truly vacant lots” that can provide real solutions instead of false choices. #SaveESG @NYCCGC @Mandela_Garden

In San Jose, where there was a study done on the impacts of gardens, culturally favorite foods were grown. A wider range of foods provides both a healthy diet and ecosystem, as well as an important cultural bond for communities. #greenspace #CommunityVoice #nationofimmigrants

Growing our own food helps us save money on food. that way everyone can have access to sustainable whole food ingredients. It also allows access to a greater variety of fresh produce. #unitedwegrow #WednesdayMotivation #foodsecurity

Community gardens help maintain access to fresh fruits and vegetables, and the produce that come from our hard working community members doesn’t come wrapped in ocean polluting plastic #plasticfree #plasticwar #foodsecurity #agriculture #wednesdaythoughts

Awesome op-ed from @CityCollegeNY students working with @596Acres about one of the many problems with the city's tax lien sale process, which puts important neighborhood cultural, nonprofit, and faith-based institutions at risk #protectourplaces
