Who We Are

The Carbon Squeeze is a movement started by Upper West Siders (from Manhattan, that is) that empowers us to reduce our carbon footprint both as individuals and as a community.  

We’re championing an ongoing series of events with environmental experts. Each event reveals the link between some of our day-to-day activities and the emission of greenhouse gases that warm the Earth. Using the Carbon Squeeze Challenge we’ve created, you will get tools and information to make simple changes in your behavior and choices and learn how to affect change through community engagement and activism. Not only that, the Challenge keeps track of how we are doing as a community.  

We believe that our talks and challenge will be “game changing.” Join us! Together we can make a real difference.
