Four days throughout the year where all NYC Public Schools engage in climate action and sustainability. Each day centers around a theme, offering schools a chance to learn and engage locally in building a greener, healthier future.
Like Earth Day, these are days to galvanize action, focused on celebrating solutions and school-wide engagement.
Schools can celebrate these days on whatever date works best for their community, regardless of the scheduled date. It's about making the time meaningful and empowering for everyone involved.
