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
