New York City Friends of Clearwater, Inc. is an affiliate of the Hudson
River Sloop Clearwater, Inc. It supports Clearwater by
teaching people to protect the Hudson River and related
waterways and shores, including N.Y. Harbor through education,
advocacy, and celebration. We teach in schools, at street
fairs, in public forums and at festivals throughout N.Y.C. We
educate NYCFC members and the public during our monthly
meetings and the annual sail on the sloop Clearwater. We let
people know about simple things that everyone can do to
help.
In coalition with other organizations,
NYCFC has educated people about:
Making homes and businesses more environmentally
friendly
Cleaning up nearby waters and surrounding shores
Preserving drinking water quality
The benefits of recycling and the processes used
(collection, etc)
Preserving environmental regulations for
Manhattans' Hudson River Park and other parks
throughout the region
Incineration vs. Recycling
N.Y. States contract with Hydro Quebec (which
would have led to massive flooding of native land and
displacement of people)
The dangers of multiple plants sitting along the
city's rivers
