EARTH WEEK 2010 RECAP
Earth Week 2010 was kind of an extended "coming out" party for our fledgling nonprofit, EcoStation: NY.
We reached out to diverse neighborhood populations here in Bushwick, Brooklyn, with a slate of six unique events.
We tried to offer something for everyone, from a night of eclectic music in a bike shop accompanied by a locavore's
dream cookout by Bushwick Food Coop, to a trip to Brooklyn Botanic Garden with the seniors of Palmetto Garden Club,
to a "sunrise summit" (yes it was really at 6:05am!) for educators to expeirence the Secret Garden Farm & Nature Preserve.
