Sponsored by SGA, the COMD Club, the Library, Art & Design Club, Moving Pixels, Ink Club, and the Garden Club:
What is the
process of recycling? What and how much actually gets recycled? What are some
pitfalls of recycling and how can we improve the process? What new plastic bans
and recycling laws are being considered on the state and national level?
These and much more will be answered in this workshop. Our special guest,
Michael Cyr, recycling expert, pioneer, entrepreneur, and recent TedX speaker
will be helping to lead a discussion and group brainstorm on these critical
issues.
With 99% of plastic made from petroleum, plastic waste is not only a danger to
our oceans and wildlife, it’s an integral part of the global climate crisis.
Changing our relationship with plastic is paramount to solving the biggest
issue of our lifetime.

Learn about your rights as a tenant with a rep from Brooklyn Legal Services, a local law firm that, for 50 years, has challenged systemic injustices and ensured the well-being of tenants and communities across the city. Whether you are just starting to consider moving out of your childhood home and living on your own (or with roommates) or you’ve been living on your own for awhile, it is important to know your rights as a tenant.
