If you live in Park Slope and don’t know that stores are staying open late and offering specials and discounts, we’re very unclear as to how you lack this knowledge as the organizers have promoted the hell out of it. We have one more bit of news to add–they’ll be selling re-usable coffee mugs in front of the Park Slope Food Coop that will get you discounts and even free coffee. Here’s the email about it:

Final Reminder! Today is the first day of Park Slope’s Shop Local campaign—the Snowflake Celebration. And this year the folks at Buy in Brooklyn are offering mugs instead of umbrellas. Building on the theme of sustainability, they are partnering with the Brooklyn Green Team, a grassroots environmental group, to sell re-usable mugs (shown here) and doing their part to avoid the billions of disposable coffee cups used each year in the US. “By not using paper cups, you’re saving precious resources like trees,” said Amanda Gentile co-founder of the Brooklyn Green Team, adding, “at the same time, local businesses also save resources— money spent on countless cups, lids and sleeves your morning coffee is packaged in.” On the evenings of December 4th and 11th the Brooklyn Green Team will be selling stainless steel Buy in Brooklyn mugs in front of the Park Slope Food Coop and signing folks up for a three-month eco-challenge. Several participating stores have posted the Green Team’s challenge flyer. And Postmark Café will give a 25cent discount to anyone who brings their own mug. If you have a Buy in Brooklyn or Postmark mug, drip coffee is free!

Go get mugged.
