Original GreenBrooklyn.org Press Release: Over 4,000 New Yorkers flocked to the Center for the Urban Environment's 4th Annual Green Brooklyn event on Thursday September 18th, the borough's largest celebration of environmentally conscious programs, projects, and initiatives in New York City. The streets of downtown Brooklyn crawled with New Yorkers eager to find out more about what's going on in their own backyards and how they can get involved.

More than a basic introduction to all things green, attendees heard from local and national leaders in sustainability and walked away with important information and practical tools to begin to live healthier.
