One more event for the OTBKB Summer in Brooklyn Guide.
For their latest event, Sustainable Flatbush is teaming up with the Green Edge
Collaborative, a Brooklyn-based organization dedicated to community
education about the impact of individual consumption choices on
society and the environment. Green Edge’s previous events have
included Eco-Eatery tours of local restaurants and Supper Club
potluck-style gatherings with an emphasis on local organic ingredients.
