Planet Philadelphia environmental radio show 4-5:00 PM Friday4/2/21: How can the use of our land, particularly for agriculture, help with environmental protection and climate change? We examine some innovative strategies in this area: “enhanced rock weathering” and urban agriculture. While the urban agriculture interview is about Philadelphia’s programs, it may serve as a source of information for other cities thinking about urban agriculture. The interaction of ideas and strategies between rural and urban agriculture could also help inform policies in all communities.

Yard trees: If you are looking for a tree for your sidewalk, apply for a street tree. A citywide pickup event will take place on May 15 at FDR Park, while deliveries and neighborhood events will take place throughout the spring. The spring won’t be TreePhilly’s first foray into pandemic giveaways. In 2020, it distributed more than 1,200 trees to homeowners, while observing COVID-19 mitigation guidelines. This season’s iteration will similarly follow coronavirus protocols: Those interested can register for a free tree online. https://www.phila.gov/services/trees-parks-the-environment/tree-related-services/get-a-street-tree/ Street trees for the sidewalk have a separate request form. Recycling clothing & electronics: SmartCityPHL launches its first pilot with Retrievr | Office of Innovation and Technology Clothing and electronics make up approximately 10 percent of Philadelphia’s waste stream, piling up in landfills. Through SmartCityPHL’s Pitch & Pilot program, Philadelphians will soon be able to dispose of these items responsibly from the convenience of their homes. Through a partnership with Retrievr, residents can schedule doorstep pickup of unwanted clothing and electronics for recycling. Retrievr is the first winner of the first Pitch & Pilot challenge, which asked for ideas to reduce waste in Philadelphia. How to use Retrievr’s service Retrievr offers an on-demand doorstep collection for clothing and electronics. The company will pick up clothing and small electronics for free. While Retrievr charges a small fee for large electronics like TVs, microwaves, and air conditioners, residents are still able to recycle these items for free at sanitation convenience centers. Residents can start scheduling pickups on Thursday, May 28. Retrievr will then begin collections on Monday, June 8. Philadelphians can schedule a pickup by: • Visiting retrievr.com • Texting PICKUP to 757-70-FETCH (757-703-3824) • Calling 757-70-FETCH (757-703-3824) During the pilot period, Retrievr will update its platform to include Philadelphia, assess the collection of additional materials, and work with City partners to evaluate the impact of its service on waste diversion. Find Free, Nutritious Food During COVID-19: The City uses phila.gov/food, an easy to use resource (available in multiple languages), to provide the most up-to-date listing of food and meal sites for Philadelphians. Residents should check back often to confirm sites and schedules, as this information continues to change. For more information, contact [email protected].
