Recycle, Now More Than Ever!  Discussion and Film Screening
6:30pm-8:30pm, NYCDEP's Newtown Creek Visitor Center
329 Greenpoint Avenue at Humboldt St, Brooklyn
See the “garbage villages” in Cairo, where residents take it upon themselves to clean the city and make recycling their sole source of income, then journey to the US to examine how patterns of consumption and waste changed post WWII.   Movies will be followed by a workshop where you will learn how to recycle more than 50% of your household waste in NYC.  The films Garbage Dreams (excerpt) and Gone Tomorrow: the Hidden Life of Garbage will be followed by a presentation by GrowNYC's Office of Recycling Outreach and Education.  Download the flyer for directions.
