What problem would you like to solve?

The racial equity issue when it comes to environmental justice in low income minority communities. There are not enough trees in East Harlem and air pollution is heightened and exacerbates health issues.

Why is it important to solve? Why is it relevant for the community?

Everybody deserves the right to breath good quality natural air!

What idea do you have to address the problem?

Plant trees on every block. At least 3 trees per block

Who would that help?

Everybody

What NYC borough would benefit from your idea?

East Harlem
