The Origins of the Bay Ridge Environmental Group

The Bay Ridge Environmental Group is one of the largest and most active groups to emerge out of the COVID-19 pandemic in Bay Ridge. Consisting of an ever-changing array of volunteers, it has gone on to not only beautify our local parks and playgrounds, but also advocate for cleaner and more equitable transit, better funding for green spaces, and much, much more. But every seed needs to be watered and cared for. Today, we sit down in our studio with Danny Loud, one of the founders of the Bay Ridge Environmental Group, as we dig deep into what has made the group so successful. We'll learn about the early years, the first cleanups, and the key partnerships that have made the group what it is today: and what the future holds as Bay Ridge steps up to tackle climate change. Along the way, we'll discover that not everyone is happy about having cleaner parks. There's been inexplicable opposition, but BREG. has emerged all the stronger for it, supported by constant action, responsive decision-making, and a friendly come-and-go-as-you-please style of membership. Join us as we kick off our second season of Radio Free Bay Ridge, explore the origins of the Bay Ridge Environmental Group, and welcome our newest official contributor to the podcast, Danny Loud! ---- Check out the show notes for background info and bonus material Be sure to
