Green In BKLYN
Since Earth Day is tomorrow, I wanted to give y’all some ideas about how to live a greener life in BK. And although I’m too lazy to do most of these things (yes, I know, I’m a hypocrite– comment away), I’m hoping that I’m cleansing my green karma by spreading the word a bit. So here’s your little To-Do list for tomorrow:
1. Go to the Grand Opening of Green in BKLYN and buy some environmentally healthy supplies.
2. Start community composting with the help of North Brooklyn Compost Project in McCarren Park.
3. Or start composting at home with your own pet worms. Via Brooklyn Based:
If you’re not daunted yet, you can also buy worms and start (indoor) composting yourself. A pound of these fuglies runs about $20, which you can order through The Brooklyn Kitchen until the end of the month ‚Äî the first spot in Brooklyn to offer them. Otherwise, they’re available at the LESEC, along with worm ‚”condos.” Jo Micek, also of the North Brooklyn Composting Project, estimates it takes a week for her worms to plow through 2 to 3 pounds of food waste, and 3 months for them to turn it into compost, which she uses on her indoor plants and gives to friends with yards.
4. Pick up one of these super cute reusable grocery bags (which double as beach bags! &/or any other kind of bag), and in doing so you’ll be supporting one of Brooklyn’s own entrepreneurs.
5. That’s all I got for now, but please feel free to add your green ideas in the comments section.
C’mon, guys! Green is the New Beard!
