Spark Speaker Series: with Anna Cummins and Marcus Eriksen of 5 Gyres and Stefanie Spear, founder of EcoWatch

The Moderns 900 Broadway, Suite 202 , New York

Microplastic particles are found in all oceanic gyres, bays, gulfs and seas worldwide.

Once in the environment, microplastics absorb persistent organic pollutants, and are consumed by a variety of marine life, including the fish we harvest for food.

Join the discussion on plastic pollution in our waterways and the serious impact it has on our oceanic ecosystem, and what is being done to stop it.

Minetta Brook Walk

First Presbyteran Chuch 12 West 12th Street, New York

Before NYC became concrete and asphalt, the island was covered by rivers, streams and marshes. Greenwich Village's Minetta Brook is one such watercourse and still makes its presence known in the basements of the structures built on top of it; some are still visible if you know where to look.

Join urban explorer Steve Duncan of Undercity.org as he shows us the Minetta's 1.5 mile buried path and explains the waterway functioning both today and in the past!
