Opening Today: Growing and Greening New York


Opening today at the Museum of the City of New York, a new exhibit called Growing and Greening New York: PlaNYC and the Future of the City, which looks at the complexities of greater environmental sustainability in New York City and tries to make them understandable by bringing environmental concerns to life on an individual, human scale. The exhibit is organized in terms of a typical day in the life of a New Yorker, exploring six essential areas addressed by the Bloomberg Administration’s five-borough plan for sustainability by 2030: water; transportation; energy; open space; land; and climate change. The exhibition features architectural models, interactive displays, diagrams, renderings, photographs, hands-on examples of new materials, videos, and more.

3r Living is a minor supporter of the exhibit and we donated some of our products to help make their displays a little greener. I am hoping to check out the exhibit before the New Year but if not, it looks like it is on through the middle of April. For more details, click here.
