Compost Cycle
It’s bike month in NYC, so saddle up this weekend for a little exercise and eco-knowledge. Meet at Union Square and follow Lower East Side Ecology Center experts as they take you on a historic tour of the Center’s urban composting efforts. After checking out the compost processing facility and education center on the East River, the tour will jump on the Governor’s Island Ferry for a riverside picnic on the island. Bring your bike, a lunch, and some sunscreen. In case of rain, call (212) 477-4022.
Place: Meet at Union Square, Union Square East and East 15th Street
Price: Free.

This image shows an emission from plasma heated to greater than eight million degrees during the energy release process of the flare. Image Credit: JAXA/Hinode
