As we wait to see what the fate of the $550 billion bipartisan infrastructure deal will be, it’s clear that we need to dedicate a large swath of money to overhaul water infrastructure and to address how urban areas mitigate the impacts of climate change.

On Sundays, sometimes I like to head down to the Upper West Side and grab a bagel and an iced coffee before strolling over to Central Park to find a bench to park on with a book. One of the first outdoor activities I did once it warmed up this year was to visit the cherry blossoms by the Jackie Onassis Reservoir after enjoying a sticky bun on a park bench and watching all of the cute dogs pass me by.

Last weekend I visited Arcadia Earth, “a next-generation art exhibition and extended reality experience designed to reignite the conversation around the most pressing environmental issues of our time.” As a project manager for a national environmental leadership network and art lover, I was incredibly curious about how this exhibit would tell the story about climate change in an aesthetically pleasing way.
