NEW YORK (PIX11) -- The landscaping, scenery, and people are not the only draw at the High Line this weekend.
A science fair focusing on climate change runs on Saturday, Sunday, and Monday.
It's a big topic that experts and representatives hope to make relatable and understandable to the public.
Gabe Kleinman is Emerson Collective's Operating Partner.
"Climate touches everything we do in the world. Everything has climate implications. It has to address a human need in order for us to adopt it," he said.
Emerson Collective, a foundation focused on social issues, hosts the second annual event. The group supports causes, education, and companies working to make a difference in the world.
Climate change has a lot of angles, from power sources to growing local produce.
Tony Hillery founded Harlem Grown to transform the lives of people in Harlem by creating urban farms on uptown blocks.
They’re among the 30 booths featured at the science fair. You can ask about growing food at home and reducing food waste.
"The message here is simple. No one can do everything. Everyone can do something," he said.
The event is free and has items for all ages.
"When you come to the climate science fair, New Yorkers should feel a sense of optimism for the solutions that are being pioneered," said High Line Executive Director Alan van Capelle.
The fair runs from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. through Monday.
