This article will examine the roots of the problem and the solutions that Newark will find to the problem of rising stormwater. It will also briefly cover the community-led group that is the Walk for the Climate.
Newark’s Walk for the Climate is a grassroots community action, with no formal structures or leaders, to help the city’s residents and visitors protect the city’s historic downtown from the rising sea level. It started with a call, and then grew quickly to become a walk for the city. At the end of the article, you will find a snapshot of the walk’s progress.
The name “Walk for the Climate” comes from a blog originally started by a Newark resident, the architect, and activist Jane Lydon. Lydon is the co-creative director of the campaign. After she published an article, she received letters from readers who wished to learn more. The Walk for the Climate then became a community project.

In the beginning, everyone wanted to farm. One man wanted to build a farm in his front yard. Another wanted to build a barn. A third wanted to sell his farm to the needy and raise a family of his own. And on and on…. This was the beginning…….
The world of farming was a dangerous place. It was a place where you could get hurt. It was a place where sometimes you could get caught up in a big, old-fashioned prison.
It was a place where you would have to worry about your family and children. The world of farming was a place that was much different than the world you had known before. Now, it’s a place you have to worry or even fear. That’s why, I have some thoughts to share. I will share them with you. I will begin by explaining the reasons I chose to farm.
The reasons why I decided to farm at this late hour were primarily because I had to leave the city I was born in and move to a rural area. I am part Jamaican and part Filipino. I am now here in New Jersey, a part of the United States, a piece of the country that many people call home. Many times I would imagine to go back to Jamaica but I couldn’t. I could not let go of that place I had come from.
It’s because of that place that I decided to farm with me. I decided to leave my comfort zone of the city and go out into the country. Farm land was not something that I was used to at all and when I looked at the land, I could see that it was far different from what I was used to. That’s why, I decided to get to know this farm. That’s why, I had to go out to this farm.
I had to get some good training in agriculture so I could start to get a good living out of it.
I knew that working on a farm was a good way to stay busy.
I wanted to grow some things in the way that I have. That’s how farming came to be.
These reasons were all important to me to farm.
M.E. Lewis: A New Jersey tomato expert
Article Title: M E Lewis: A New Jersey tomato expert | Programming.
Lewis: No, I saw you on WFUV last night about tomatoes, and I’m trying to get him to actually look at your video.
Lewis: No, no, he’s not seeing it — it’s not there.
M E Lewis: Well, he’s coming to you.
Lewis: Well, I want to talk to him about tomatoes.
M E Lewis: That’s my job.
Lewis: So if you want to look at what I’ve been doing here, I am going to try to show it to him. And, I want you to remember that I’m doing this for a couple of reasons: one, I want to tell him about the kind of tomatoes that you can grow in New Jersey, and two I want you to remember that you are the expert on this.
M E Lewis: So you’ll get to see my video eventually, and then you’ll have your own tomato farmers, or whatever you want to call them. And actually, some of them are coming to me who are maybe, if they want to, a little bit more specialized than, say, the ones from New York, New Jersey, where you have a lot of competition here, if they want to put tomatoes in the back yard. This is the time to do it.
Lewis: And also the tomatoes will be much hotter than if I were to keep it in the refrigerator. And that’s true for both of these. So, we’ll see what happens. And I’ll also show you how to do it. And then you can do it for yourself, for your friends, for your children — and I’ll take pictures of you doing it.
Lewis: All right.
Lewis: So, I have to show you the video, because you can see, they’re both, you can see the tomatoes, the ones from New York, and the ones from New Jersey. And that’s all you have to do. They’re not quite the same, but you can see that.
