Let’s go! 💪🏽

Today's SCOTUS decision is a major setback. I feel despair for our planet & future. Still! NYC will continue to lead and pursue aggressive climate policy & investments. Our efforts to protect the environmental health and safety of our communities matter more than ever.💪🏽💪🏽

Onward Commissioner Ashwin Vasan, MD, PhD

This is one of the most ambitious and technically complex climate adaptation projects in the world. So proud of our amazing City team who made this milestone possible. Thank you NYC DDC NYC Parks NYC DOT NYClimate and our many partners 🎉🎉

Take it from our NYClimate Executive Director Kizzy Charles-Guzman: From the benefits to our environment, to the health of our neighbors, to the advantages that come with making the prudent changes needed, acting now is a win-win for everyone. amny.com/opinion/op-ed-…

OPINION | Cars stalled in flooded roads. Waterfalls cascaded into subways. Thousands suffered flood damage. But the most devastating was the loss of 13 lives We must recognize the urgency and challenges weather poses for the city. Rit Aggarwala Kizzy Charles-Guzman trib.al/3OXxoxo

It’s been real y’all

“The only way to deal with an unfree world is to become so absolutely free that your very existence is an act of rebellion.” — Albert Camus #birdcp #birdcpp #birdphotography #birding #BirdsOfTwitter #birdsofprey #BirdsSeenIn2023 #flaco #flacotheowl #centralpark 📸: Cheryl Waixel Kaften

Inspired by his zeal for freedom, I painted #Flaco— the Eurasian eagle owl who escaped from his vandalized Central Park Zoo enclosure 2 months ago and continues to thrive #birdcpp #birdsoftwitter ⁦FlacoTheOwl⁩ — abcnews.go.com/US/flaco-escap…

10 years ago today we installed NYC's first Citi Bike station. They said that bikes would bring traffic chaos, danger & lawsuits. What happened instead was history: 178 million trips, 100k rides daily on 28k bikes, turning NYC into one of the world's great cycling cities.

Our city is more than skyscrapers and subways, there are parks, gardens and so many other green spaces — the backyards of 8.8 million New Yorkers. What a joy to spend this #EarthDay this morning with the volunteers in Queens who keep NYC Parks clean and green.

As I step into the CEO role at Center for Environmental Health after years in government, I'm deeply honored & genuinely excited. CEH has protected lives from toxic chemicals for 27 years. 🌍 Now, let's transform neighborhoods into healthier, happier places to live, work, & play. Join us! 💚💪🏽

I endured the hardest year of my career while finding strength, resilience and joy in Flaco. I even centered him on my Earth Day speech against the advice and jeers of my colleagues. Rest in power, beloved. Thank you for your gifts to New Yorkers and for reminding me of my grit

Memorials at Flaco’s Tree this morning. (The Central Park half marathon was running past at the time I visited) #flacotheowl #birdcpp FlacoTheOwl Central Park see end of thread for exact location on map

Congratulations Veronica Vanterpool An excellent leader and public transit warrior✨✨💪🏽

“The continued practice of selling fashion accessories containing toxic chemicals to lower-income shoppers is unconscionable. Affordability should not come at the cost of our health.” -Kizzy Charles-Guzman, CEO of CEH ceh.org/latest/press-r…

Great to speak with HuffPost about #microplastics, and how we at Center for Environmental Health are pushing governments and companies toward systemic changes to stop the pollution and reformulate away from harmful chemicals. Thanks Jillian Wilson for this story! huffpost.com/entry/micropla…
