All over the world, NBCU & GE volunteers are getting together to make a difference this week.In Los Angeles, employees returned to Griffith Park on Earth Day to plant trees and clear weeds and brush. Ron Meyer, President and COO of Universal Pictures, announced a long-term commitment to support a specific canyon in the park, in partnership with the NBCU Foundation grant organization, Los Angeles Conversation Corps (LACC), and the City of Los Angeles Recreation and Parks. NBCU will be responsible for providing service to the area at least twice each calendar year.
The volunteers seem in high spirits on the sunny Earth Day morning
while clearing out brush and weeds in the park.
While on the other side of the country in much damper weather, employees in New York City gathered to plant trees in East Harlem to support MillionTreesNYC, a citywide initiative to plant and care for one million trees over the next decade. Suze Orman made opening remarks along with Lauren Zalaznick, President of NBCU Women & Lifestyle Entertainment Networks.
Other events included a park beautification project in New Jersey, garden building in Dallas, a clothing swap in London and the "Green Drop" - located in all NBCU facilities where employees could bring clothing, books, CDs & DVDs, batteries and mobile devices to be donated or recycled. Look out for more pictures of the events as they come in!
