First Flatbush Supper Club Event

Hungry for home made vegetarian food and a discussion of zero waste?  Come to the first meeting of the Flatbush Supper Club.

Who:         A collaboration between GreenEdge Supper Clubs (greenedgenyc.org), Sustainable Flatbush (sustainableflatbush.org), and Educating Tomorrow (educatingtomorrow.org).

What:        A vegetarian potluck and discussion group about zero waste.

Where:      Micki Josi's place in Brooklyn (across the street from Brooklyn College) last stop on the 2/5 train.  Contact me at the supper club site for the address:http://greenedge.ning.com/group/flatbushsupperclub

When:      Saturday, November 1st at 6pm

Why:         I am obsessed with garbage.  I’m a Master Composter through BBG, co-founder of NYC School Recycling Committee, and I’m reading Garbage Land by Elizabeth Royte.  I want to talk about trash.  How can we create zero waste in our lives and spread those ideas to the masses?  How can we boycott the wasteful consumerism of the Holiday Seasons and still celebrate winter in a generous way?  How can we eliminate disposable plastics?  The list of things to talk about is endless.  Let's share our ideas on how to confront our cultures addition to consumption in a positive and productive way.

What to bring:     Your favorite seasonal vegetarian (even better if it’s vegan, wheat-free and/or sugar-free) dish, beverages, and thoughts to share.

What to do:     Start reading Garbage Land by Elizabeth Royte for the discussion (optional).   I have limited space, so PLEASE RSVP by joining the Flatbush Supper Club Group at http://greenedge.ning.com/group/flatbushsupperclub and let me know if you will be able to attend.  If you live in Flatbush, maybe you would be interested in hosting the next one?  Don't live in Flatbush, you can still come and you might consider starting or joining your local supper club in your area.
