Today is Earth Day and this year’s
theme is End
Plastic Pollution. Brooklyn has a lot of events to mark the
occasion and to help find ways to change attitudes to how we deal with
plastics. Ultimately the hope is to find
ways to substantially reduce plastic pollution.
One event – the TNOS Earth Day Fashion
Show – is happening today in East Williamsburg at the Legendary Republic
between 3 and 7pm. Here, both local and
independent designers and models will be able to show their clothing through
the platform on the importance of the preservation of Mother Earth.
Tomorrow, one can join in the Bike to
Work event. Meeting at 8.30 in the
morning at Prospect Park (441 Flatbush Avenue, Willink Entrance), this year the
annual event is being started by borough President Adams. The idea behind it is
the same as it always is – how to promote greener ways to move around Brooklyn
and outer areas.
