the project

Our volunteers will build a new community multi purpose Hoop House to grow seedlings for multiple neighborhood projects. This will have a positive impact on our environment. Growing plants for tree pits will increase rain water mitigation. Providing more plants to the community will spur soil remediation and improve air quality. Will hold classes on the effects of composting and food waste, which account for upwards of 4% of greenhouse emissions. 

the steps

We will plan out the design of the structure guided by how it will serve the community

We will recruit our neighbors who have the skills to physically build it

We will make a list of supplies and purchase them

We will begin construction

We will complete construction

We will celebrate

why we're doing it

Our neighborhood of Bushwick, Brooklyn is an environmental high risk zone. We endure bad air quality due to a lack of trees and plant life that stems from  bigger systemic exploitation of our land. We have no knowledge or access to where our food comes from making us reliant on a system that continually does us harm. We are going to give some of the power and knowledge back to our people.
