RETROFITTING INDUSTRIAL CIVILIZATION

The foun­da­tion of civ­i­liza­tion as we know it, and the aspects of it that we value depend upon a sta­ble and well designed agri­cul­tural sys­tem, eco­nomic sys­tem, and energy sys­tem. Join us for this inspir­ing talk with Andrew Faust at Brook­lyn Per­ma­cul­ture Meetup!

STOP N’ SWAP – BRONX
12:00PM — 3:00PM

GrowNYC’s com­mu­nity “swaps” pro­vide the per­fect oppor­tu­nity to find new homes for things you no longer need. By tak­ing home items that you can use, you are also help­ing to pre­vent waste from pro­duc­tion, pack­ag­ing and trans­porta­tion required to get new things.
