"If the world is to be saved, it will be saved by those who care deeply for very small places."
In 2012, New York City got a massive wake up call: Superstorm Sandy devastated parts of the city and forever changed how we think about severe weather. But... did it change how we actually handle these events? This season, host Christina Thompson sets out to answer that very question and understand just what climate resiliency looks like in her own backyard. Follow along as she connects with grassroots groups across New York City to learn about the innovative, inspiring, and collaborative ways they’re protecting their communities. From Red Hook to the Bronx, each episode features people who care deeply for their neighborhoods — and lessons for anyone who wants to take action today.

S3 E6: “Once you zoom out a little bit, you realize how universal so many of these issues are.”
Back in Christina’s neighborhood in Brooklyn, something huge is developing… The Gowanus Canal has a reputation for being beyond gross -- brimming with industrial pollution, sludge, and sewage. Just over a century ago, the Gowanus Canal was one of the country’s busiest waterways, and, over time, it became a superfund site, an eyesore, and one of New York’s smelliest landmarks. Christina is joined by Natasia Sidarta and Diana Gruberg from the Gowanus Canal Conservancy, an organization advocating for the transformation of the canal into a resilient, vibrant, and open space. They discuss how this major clean up effort and long term management plan could be an important model for future resilience projects.
