Pratt Sustainability Coalition

Pratt Sustainability Coalition invites you to BLUE WEEK 2019!
To engage with environmental sustainability throughout the year, Blue Week stages a week-long, campus-wide series of events each fall to celebrate the life-giving force of water—fresh and salt, lake and ocean, on the coast and at sea. Blue Week shows respect for this element and the life forms implicated in its wake, including our own. As the pioneering oceanographer Sylvia Earle has said, “Without the blue there could be no green.”
 
Programs encourage the Pratt community to experience water firsthand through the eyes of artists and experts. A beach cleanup draws attention to the detrimental effects of consumer waste on the coastlines we share. Years passed we hiked Harriman State Park and took a swim in one of its lakes, and in other years kayaked in Brooklyn. The role of cultural practice and design—film, photography, theatre—in water advocacy is a key component of this event. Underwater photographer Keith Ellenbogen, National Geographic Explorer and marine biologist David Gruber, leading environmental sociologist Rebecca Altman, and Academy-award filmmaker Fisher Stevens are just some speakers who have come to Pratt to explore this theme with us.
