go green, brooklyn style
Habana Outpost, New York's first (and only?) solar-powered restaurant, in Fort Greene, Brooklyn will kick off its 2008 season with an Earth Day Expo (the restaurant is only open six months of the year - the sunny months!).
Owner Sean Meenan is often sought after for information about sustainability and green business practices - and so he organized the first annual Earth Day Expo at Habana Outpost. The focus of this two-day event will be to provide a place for the community to access information about sustainability in a fun and interactive way through a series of free events and workshops.
From 12-6pm, both days, shop green: local vendors and designers (including
black sheep heap) will showcase green products and services in an outdoor market.
There will also be electronic waste recycling, a bio-diesel demo, and composting workshops.
