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.
