Where has the Climate Ribbon been lately?
The Climate Ribbon ritual has been happening across the country since the People’s Climate March. Recently, students at Northern Arizona University (NAU) integrated the Climate Ribbon Project into several campaigns run by a student group, The Weatherization and Community Building Action Team (WACBAT).
Two months after the historic Peoples’ Climate March, and days before the UN Climate Summit in Lima, you are invited to gather in Manhattan for an evening of art & activism, as solidarity events begin in NYC.

“It was great to be there with so many people who had come to NYC from all over the world. The rail was a perfect place to hang all the ribbons!” ~ Cindi
“On September 21st, the students at Sinai Free Synagogue in Mount Vernon, New York actively engaged in a climate conversation and then they wrote their wishes to protect their world on these ribbons which we attached to this version of a climate tree.
We also planted and dedicated a new Magnolia tree in our outdoor space to nourish and care for as a reminder of this very important day. We circled this sapling and sang together arm in arm celebrating the beauty of the earth that we must protect.
It was a beautiful and memorable experience for all.”
~ Cantor Elizabeth Sternlieb

Just picked up 12,000 ribbons to give out during the People’s Climate March. Massive thanks to NYC’s M&J Trimming Company!
From Tammy at NYU:
We had a successful event. As the curator put it the climate ribbon added the participatory element to the gallery opening. It felt mutually enriching. I got 20 ribbons made. Thank you all for your support and for the “ribbon care package!”
