From a clothing swap to a climate discussion, Pier 57 is celebrating Earth Day with a variety of festive activities bringing together climate enthusiasts, local organizations, and community members of all ages.
On Saturday, April 20, the waterfront destination is partnering with Veggie Mijas, a BIPOC collective advocating for food and environmental justice, on a clothing swap in Pier 57’s Living Room space at 1:30pm. Bring up to five items of clothing or shoes — in good condition, of course — to swap and share. The Reclypt team will also be on hand for advice on mending, upcycling and caring for your clothes, and all leftover items will be distributed among local organizations like Collective Focus and NYC Fair Trade Coalition. Then at 2:30pm, you can sit in for a meaningful discussion about sustainability and climate action with Climate Café, Black Girl Environmentalist, Remake, We Are Atlas, and Worn Not Torn.
And since all that will have you working up an appetite, Market 57 vendor Local Roots will be offering a special Earth Day cookie, made with black sesame and matcha icing. You can register for all of the above here.
