In case you haven’t noticed, there are a whole bunch of young people in Philadelphia doing great sustainability work. At our January Urban Sustainability Forum, come hear from several of these leaders about their projects and initiatives.

Bringing fresh ideas, motivation, and the determination to help their communities live more sustainably, Philadelphia’s young visionaries are making an impression on those who have been working in the field for years. Their contributions cover a wide range of essential services, ranging from innovations in transportation to agricultural modifications and more. Hear how they are connecting with environmental organizations on college campuses, plus listen to music and spoken word artists from Philadelphia public schools at this lively event.
