Description

Now more than ever, there is a strong sense of activism being cultivated by people in the face of a changing political and social landscape. Everyday people are eager to take action and do what they can to make a difference and advocate for the causes they believe in. However, it's not always clear what we as everyday people can do for these missions.

Particularly in our community, the question is often asked: What can I do as an NYC resident to make energy and sustainability improvements in my apartment, building or neighborhood?

This month's GreenHomeNYC forum will concentrate on what you can do as a sustainability-minded individual to help pioneer a sustainable future, and what some individuals, communities, and the city as a whole are already doing to help.

Date: Wednesday, February 15th, 2017
Time: 6:30-8:00pm
Place: Fujitsu General America: 1450 Broadway, 42nd Floor New York, NY
