Earth Sessions hosted our largest event so far with a Climate Week Concert + EcoFestival sponsored by our friends Waverley Street Foundation + Pinterest. Featuring musical performances, speakers, tabling activations and giveaways! It was a great introductory event to Climate Week as 60% (295) of our attendees indicated this was their FIRST Climate Week Event EVER!
🎤 Highlights of the event included musical performances by EarthGang, Dianna Lopez, Gaia Music Collective, and Antonique Smith. We also heard from speakers Kinsale Drake, Kofi Thomas, Wawa Gatheru, Charitie Ropati, Isaias Hernandez, Aditi Mayer, Leah Thomas, Kiana Kazemi, Kalpana Arias, Gianna Lum, and Josh Nodiff
We gave away 📚 over 200 FREE books 📚, 🎨and had tabling from grassroots organizations such as Black Girl Environmentalist, Glitch, One Up Action, Climate Cafe NYC + Climate Imaginarium. We also had an upcycling station hosted by Sustainable Baddie and Climate Cafe NYC, Customized Poetry Station by Climate Cafe NYC, and Digital collages by Pinterest + Nest.
A big thank you to everyone from New York Climate Week for attending.
