| Bronx Council for Environmental Quality |

BCEQ is a large organization with a seemingly wide focus, however recently the main focus is the Hudson River. Although no longer in the news as much as in 2013, they are still very active in projects such as Bronx Canoemobile to teach children about the river and are well-known in the Bronx Community. |

| Nos Quedamos |
http://www.nosquedamos.org/index.html |
Nos Quedamos' goal is to "develop an economically productive, sustainable, and healthy community". One of their main goals is reducing air pollution due to Bronx's 17% average rate of school aged children with asthma. They are especially interesting because they mix Spanish and English significantly which hints at trying to reach a larger audience in the Bronx. |
