American cities are parts of regional, national, and global communities.
Local problems and actions cannot be separated from their broader context. Thus we must protect the quality of the air, water, land and other natural resources in our communities by minimizing our impact on local and worldwide ecosystems. EAC is committed to this effort in New York City, with a special emphasis on urban forestry. But there is much more to creating and maintaining sustainable cities and we encourage you to explore the links provided in this section. EAC has a long history of working toward a healthier and more habitable city.
