At 12:30pm, Jeremy Friedman from the NYU Sustainability Task Force will be giving a talk entitled "Green NYU, Green City, Green World" at 12:30pm. Learn how NYU is greening their campus and office space and how the exciting changes made there can be made everywhere. http://www.
After the talk, we will have a planning meeting for Green initiatives at CUNY Law for the coming year. This is a great opportunity for us to brainstorm about how to make CUNY Law greener.
Join us, even if you've never met us. If you care about our impact on our planet, our city, and our neighborhood, we want to know you. For more about the CUNY Law Green Coalition, check out our blog at http://cunyappleseed.blogspot.

The CUNY Law Green Coalition was born last year. In ta year, we have initiated a composting program, done a 24-hour waste audit, raised awareness of recycling, taken a tour of the farm at the high school next door, participated in the CUNY Law Sustainability Council with faculty and administrators, started forming an alumi network of those working in "green" legal jobs, initiated an online rideshare in partnership with Queens College, learned about worms and the waste stream from Master Composters at the Queens Botanical Garden, and really made CUNY Law a little bit greener.
