Spring is in the air and that means it’s almost time for the 2011 Habana Works Earth Day Expo at Habana Outpost – New York’s first solar powered restaurant! Mark your calendars for Saturday, April 16th to celebrate the re-opening of the restaurant and a day of eco-friendly fun for the whole family – Habana style.
Habana Works is the non-profit branch of the Habana family, which provides free, hands-on programs that celebrate urban environmentalism in the Brooklyn community. The Earth Day Expo is an opportunity for neighbors to join in spreading the love by participating in the Earth Day program while sharing resources and ideas about sustainable living! With a wide range of activities, the entire family can enjoy Earth Day together. Parents can sip on a frozen mojito and connect with new friends while the kids get their faces painted and make recycled crafts!
Event highlights include:
The Kid’s Corner – Habana Works will kick off its Kid’s Corner season with recycled arts and crafts and a fun planting workshop for young gardeners!
The ABCs of Bees and Beekeeping – NYC Beekeeping will share the ins and outs of keeping bees using a safe and interactive glass observation hive.
NYC Compost Project Workshops – Sponsored by Brooklyn Botanic Garden and the Department of Sanitation, these fun and informative workshops will teach you how to start composting at home.
Urban Acres – Learn organic gardening tips and tricks from this local husband and wife team of edible landscapers while the kids sample delicious home-grown greens.
Green Harvest CSA – Come by for your last chance to sign up for shares of fresh, healthy food from our favorite local CSA.
