🤔Did you know over 1.2 BILLION gallons of raw sewage enters Newtown Creek every year? Why is there so much untreated sewage getting released into the Creek? Where does it come from? How does it impact water quality? How are humans and wildlife affected by this? What are the health concerns? What is being done to address the raw sewage? How can we help?
Wanna know the answers to these questions? Newtown Creek Alliance is hosting recurring community information sessions at the Greenpoint Library to provide neighbors with knowledge about Newtown Creek and create an ongoing dialogue for environmental advocacy, stewardship, and action. Each session will discuss ongoing topics about Newtown Creek, how it became so polluted, what the concerns are now, and what we can do about it. Come join the conversation!
When: Thursday, February 20th, 6:00 – 7:30 PM
Where: Eco Lab 1, Greenpoint Library, 107 Norman Ave, Brooklyn, NY 11222
