We are pleased to announce that we have received an invitation from the Youth Climate Action Fund and the Mayor's office to showcase our projects at their upcoming Earth Day event.

Good news! Grant approved for "The Native Plant Olympics" and "Solar Bench" project. Our vision of collaborating with the community, business, and government is coming to fruition. Thank you to all who supported us.
More details will be provided as the city prepares our contract.

We were invited by the City of White Plains to submit our application for a grant to help combat climate change.
This opportunity allows the City to fund micro-grants to rapidly launch and support youth-led climate initiatives - like us!.
Wish us luck!
Rep. George Latimer,Max Mui, Mayor Thomas M. Roach, Planning Dept. Dir. Judy Mezey., NYS Senator Shelley Mayer and White Plains City Officials.
We’re proud to highlight the recent installation of a solar-powered bench at the White Plains Public Library—a youth-led sustainability project made possible through cross-sector collaboration and mentorship.
High school senior Max Mui served as the youth lead on this initiative. United Green CORE supported the project through mentorship and logistical guidance, including vendor negotiation with Sels Solar and coordination leading up to the successful delivery to the White Plains Department of Public Works.
We extend our heartfelt thanks to Bloomberg Philanthropies and the Youth Climate Action Fund for their continued support of youth-driven climate solutions. We’re also deeply grateful to Mayor Tom Roach, the City of White Plains, and especially the Department of Public Works for helping to bring this project across the finish line.
This solar bench is not just a functional addition to a public space—it’s a symbol of what young leaders can achieve when given the support, trust, and resources to act. We’re honored to have been part of the journey.=-

We understand that not everyone can access the nature preserve. We launched our first YouTube live-stream on July 27, 2024 (details below). Stay tuned for beautiful autumn and maybe catch a glimpse of a wild turkey!
We believe nature is the bedrock of humanity. Each season, we want to share nature with our community. The location will be a secret. The first person who guesses it correctly will receive an Amazon gift card. I encourage you to buy eco-friendly stuff! In the last five minutes, we will have the community name a plant or animal shown for another chance to win a prize!
Since this is our first attempt, it's going to be a bit cheesy. We want to hear about your experience and learn from you, about how we can improve. Send us a chat on our webpage.
We are 100% of our targeted 100 plastic items. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/127A0WHon8dRLegbatFenk7Q5aEEYV7WmAc1px0AGwfM/edit?usp=sharing
The majority of our plastics are not properly labeled or recycled. Over 90% end up in our environment, inadvertently becoming hazards to all life.
We believe education and action on policy are the keys to a healthier future.
We are actively collecting and cataloging plastics that have the potential to become pervasive in our society and harm innocent animals. Scientific evidence also shows microplastics and nanoplastics have infiltrated our tissues. Plastics do not discriminate based on social stratification; they affect all members of society.
