The 1980s are remembered more for Reagan reaction and Ed Koch conservatism than
radical ecological politics. But they were a time when, below the surface, the consciousness
shift that began with the counterculture upheaval of the 1960s and continued
through the environmental movement of the 1970s was ripening, getting serious
about manifesting its vision in concrete alternatives.
At the center of that ripening in New York City was Carl Hultberg. Hippie and bohemian,
photographer and pamphleteer, free spirit and resourceful organizer, Carl
jumpstarted recycling in New York and also helped rebirth NYC bicycle activism. Carl’s
special project in the 1980s and early 1990s was the Village Green Recycling Team,
one of the first efforts at a recycling program in the city, and, with its giant utility
tricycles, the most eye-popping. He was also a key figure in the New York Greens, a
nascent attempt at a Green Party here. This became the incubator for the revival of
Transportation Alternatives and an alliance with bicycle messengers that rocked NYC
and propelled cycling to the forefront of environmental activism.
Community gardens . . . human-powered vehicles . . . recycling and urban composting . . .
Critical Mass bike rides and demands for livable streets. All have touched or reached
the mainstream, and all were nurtured by Carl.
Carl died this spring in New England, but his work and spirit live on in campaigns for
cycling and recycling, and in the new forms of community and activism that animate
the mounting movements for an ecological city and world.
Please join us on Saturday, Sept 21, for an evening of Carl’s poetry and photography
and our reminiscences. Event is free, but come prepared to put down a few bucks for
Carl’s magnificent five-volume set of photography from the era, Garden of Eden: The
Eco Eighties in New York City.
