Cambridge Celebrates Arbor Week May 4-8
The Cambridge Department of Public Works invites you to celebrate Arbor Week May 4-8, featuring activities, information and giveaways that promote the City's Urban Forest. Arbor Week celebrates the critical role that trees play in keeping our City healthy and resilient. Come meet staff, learn about Cambridge’s trees and get a free seedling!
Reduce and Reuse
“Reduce, Reuse, Recycle” is in order of importance. It is better to reduce than reuse; better to reuse than recycle.
Reducing and reusing prevent the environmental impact of making new items. All disposal has financial costs to the city. Recycling and composting cost the City less than trash. Still, preventing waste in the first place is best for Cambridge and the environment. It is one of the key recommendations in the Cambridge Zero Waste Master Plan.
Water Fountains
Install four accessible drinking fountains for residents and visitors in high foot traffic neighborhoods and parks.
FLOW: A Grant Program for The Port
Project descriptions from the Cambridge Arts grant program designed to inspire and support the creation of new artistic and cultural projects that reveal and respond to The Port neighborhood.
