“How do you green a city? Start in Brooklyn! The Center for the Urban Environment attracts city dwellers from all five boroughs to its 4th Annual Green Brooklyn event. A full day fair and symposium, attendees can learn first hand from local experts about social conscious investing, how to solar your building, choosing non-toxic home products (and of course where to buy them!), how real urbanites compost, shopping eco-chic, and what New York City is doing to create a more sustainable future. Alongside Borough Hall’s Greenmarket this year, attendees can visit booths, make art from recycled products, catch a film, and more! Free giveaways to all workshop attendees. Green Brooklyn will be held indoors and outdoors at Brooklyn Borough Hall on Thursday, September 18, from 11:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Visit www.greenbrooklyn.org for more information. FREE and open to the public.”–Green Brooklyn
