We’ve been so busy being busy & having a blast, that time has flown by….

And here we are, a year later celebrating Green in BKLYN’s first anniversary & Earth Day’s 40th (on Earth Day, of course).

Sounds like a party’s in order!

And so, this Thursday, April 22, we invite you to Green in BKLYN’s B-Earth Day party – all day long!

Below is the schedule of events with a little something for everyone…  Please join us for some or all of the day!

B-EARTH DAY 2010 – Thursday, April 22

11:30am – 1:00pm:

Brooklyn author, Leda Meredith, signs her book: The Locavore Handbook: The Busy Person’s Guide to Eating Local on a Budget.

With practical, down-to-earth advice, Leda’s book guides folks through the process of incorporating locally grown foods into their meals including information on budgeting; shopping efficiently; sourcing, growing & preserving food; & supporting local merchants as well as our lovely planet Earth.

1:30pm – 3:00pm:

Clinton Hill-based Vandra Thorburn answers questions & speaks about EM Bokashi Composting.

Vandra is the founder & pioneer of Vokashi, a new local business providing buckets & bran to households, small businesses & catering companies for EM Bokashi composting. The system has no smell, no bugs or flies & is easy to manage in your kitchen. Plus, it works months faster than traditional composting.

3:30pm – 5:00pm:

Brooklyn artist, Claudia Pearson, signs her children’s book: Tribal Alphabet.

Claudia’s debut creation for children features extraordinary illustrations that come alive to celebrate the diversity of tribal communities & the world’s indigenous heritages. A is for Australian Aborigine, B is for Basque, C is for Cherokee are some of the names of the different tribes from all over the world that go alphabetically from page to page all the way to Z is for Zulu.

5:30pm – 7:00pm:

Green in BKLYN hosts its own First Birthday with an Organic Wine Reception.

Organic wine in a recycled cardboard box. It doesn’t get much more eco-friendly or tasty than that! If you were here opening day, you’ll remember Gnarly Vines provided us with great grape then & they’ll be doing it again this year. Enjoy!
