The High Line: A Greenway That Reimagines Public Space in NYC ????? The High Line is a stunning example of a greenway in New York City, transforming a historic elevated rail line into a vibrant public park. Stretching over 1.45 miles, it’s not just a park—it’s a space where nature, art, community, and sustainability intersect. ???? Why The High Line is a Model Greenway: 1) Public Space & Community: A place to walk, relax, enjoy art, and connect with neighbors. ???? 2) Environmental Sustainability: Repurposing industrial space with eco-friendly practices like water conservation and native plantings. ???? 3) Wildlife Habitat: Supporting pollinators like wild bees with native plants and habitats. ???? 4) Local Sourcing: Many plants come from local growers, promoting climate-adapted, low-maintenance landscaping. ???? 5) Innovative Design: The park features green infrastructure that reduces storm-water runoff by up to 80%. ????? The High Line is more than just a greenway—it’s a space that helps reimagine how urban environments can coexist with nature. ?? #Greenways #TheHighLine #SustainableCities #UrbanGreenSpace #NYC #PublicArt #CommunityConnection #EcoFriendly #NativePlants #EnvironmentalSustainability

关于我们
Spearhead Project Earth? is a non-profit foundation created by The Spearhead Group with the purpose of giving back to our global community, preserving nature (including our waterways), and helping to educate people about the importance of being good environmental stewards. Spearhead Project Earth’s first program is focused on a unique island situated on the Delaware River, called Burlington Island (Burlington, NJ) Spearhead Project Earth? combines shore clean-up activities with raising awareness through education. We believe that having first-hand experience, helping to remove single use plastics from the environment in order to be properly recycled, is one of the best ways to raise awareness on the impact of our use and misuse of plastics. Volunteer groups will also have a chance to enjoy nature in a beautiful setting while learning about the rich history of the island and the harms of plastic waste. We are determined to restore the integrity and beauty of this landmark site for all of us who value the Delaware River, Burlington Island, NJ, and our responsibility to preserve international waterways. Spearhead Project Earth is accepting volunteers for cleanups as well as administrative tasks such as marketing, environmental presentations, and even becoming a part of the boating/leadership crew. Join us now and make a difference! 501(c)(3) non profit

?? Did You Know? ?? The three arrows symbol on plastics doesn't mean all of them are recyclable! ???? Each number inside the symbol (1-7) represents a different type of plastic. Some plastics, like 3 (PVC) or 6 (PS), cannot be recycled easily and often end up in landfills. ?? Be sure to check the number and make sure your local recycling center accepts it before tossing it in the bin! ?? Let's all do our part to reduce waste, reuse, and recycle responsibly. ?? #Environment #Sustainability #RecycleResponsibly #PlasticWaste #GreenPlanet #EcoFriendly #ClimateAction
