This Friday, 8pm-midnight, Vox Pop is hosting the Kickoff Party for Sustainable Flatbush:

Each month (or so) Sustainable Flatbush will present a workshop, lecture, or film on a sustainability-related theme that can benefit our neighborhood… and then, we party!

Future topics and events to include:
– energy efficiency for apartment buildings, houses, and small businesses
– understanding NYC’s arcane recycling laws [I don’t think they’re that arcane.]
– local food, slow food, food justice
– flatbush community garden [This is in very early planning stages already. I’ll post about it when things are more defined.]
– fair trade
– livable streets
– bike month NYC
– freemeet – electronics recycling event
– permaculture and native plants [Yay!]
– rainwater harvesting [Woo-hoo!]
– green roofs [Go team!]
– composting [Yeah, baby!]

SOUNDS AND VISIONS
– Drummerman brings the musical goodness: Brazilian funk and Samba classics, New Orleans grooves, and Latin/Caribbean beats!
– Keka provides a whirlwind visual feast of thematic imagery to feed your head!
– and… if the stars align correctly… live musical happenings!
plus, food and drink specials all night!
