Sustainability Partner
Earth Matter NY is a 501(c)(3) non profit organization.
We seek to reduce the organic waste misdirected into the garbage stream by encouraging neighbor participation and leadership in composting.
We see that:
There is one soil, one air, and one water, all commonly held and stewarded by one people, the nurturance of which is critical to a verdant world.
Organic waste should not be part of modern landfills because the waste of any process is food for other processes.
Transportation of waste far beyond the source unnecessarily despoils the soil, air, and water.
Society needs to alter the way waste is treated as part of an integrated, long term solution to food, climate, and energy issues.
The power to manifest global social change lies within each of us. The challenge to take action rests on our shoulders.
We endeavor to:
Compost organic waste locally on behalf of our friends.
Educate, encourage, and support ongoing community composting efforts.
Utilize best practices for the improvement of soil health.
Promote water conservation practices to reduce the Combined Sewer Overflow (CSO) burden on municipal sewer systems.
Nuyorican Poets Cafe
Over the last 50 years, the Nuyorican Poets Café has served as a home for groundbreaking works of poetry, music, theater and visual arts. A multicultural and multi-arts institution, the Café gives voice to a diverse group of rising poets, actors, filmmakers and musicians. The Café champions the use of poetry, jazz, theater, hip-hop and spoken word as means of social empowerment for minority and underprivileged artists. Our community of spectators, artists and students is a reflection of New York City’s diverse population; the late American poet Allen Ginsberg called the Café “the most integrated place on the planet.”
Hudson Valley Writers Center
The Hudson Valley Writers Center brings writers and readers together to celebrate the essential art of the written and spoken word. The Center fosters a vibrant and diverse literary arts community that supports and empowers writers and readers of diverse ages, talents and backgrounds at every stage of their creative development.
