Greenbelt is a new LEED-certified apartment building in Brooklyn, the first in this borough. Greenbelt is also the first LEED-certified performance space in all of NYC. To promote its opening, the following events are scheduled:

GreenHouse Party
February 20, 2008 – 7:00-9:00pm

GreenHouse Effect
 February 23, 24 and March 1, 2, 2008, 11:00am-6:00pm

The exhibition will raise awareness of the environmental effects of our personal choices. Visitors will be invited to explore a “home of the future” – a model apartment that has been transformed to showcase green products, services, and lifestyle choices.

GreenHouse Conversations
February 28, 2008 – 7:00-9:00pm

Moderator Gita Nandan, founder of GreenHomeNYC, will lead a lively discussion entitled “Green, Greener, Greenest: Approaches to Living Green in NYC.” The event will offer attendees a wide spectrum of perspectives on sustainable life choices for city residents – from the simple fix to the radical off-the-grid leap. Panelists will include Mark Caserta, Owner, 3R Living, a stylish green products boutique; Ben Jervey, Author, Big Green Apple Guide; Emily Main, Editor, The Green Guide, a consumer resource for green choices; No Impact Man, a New Yorker who has explored minimizing his carbon footprint for the last year; and a representative from Just Food, an organization that promotes local agriculture and organic foods for urbanites. These events are free and open to the public.

    Great to see green building spreading around the city. And using a green performance space as a venue for green-living events is a great idea!

    Be thankful you live in a state that is green friendly. We are stuck down here in the Georgia stone age. Try getting a permit down here, so much red tape I’ll make your head spin.
