SUMMARY:Climate and Your Closet: Getting Dressed without Overheating the Planet
DESCRIPTION:How do our wardrobes affect the health of our world? How can we create a climate-friendly\, worker-friendly clothing industry? \nJoin Rachel Ceruti\, community director of FabScrap\, and Sammy Cousino\, a community organizer with ReMake\, to understand clothing’s contribution to the climate crisis and learn how we can refashion fashion. \n  \nApparel accounts for about 10% of global carbon emissions—more than international flights and maritime shipping combined. Inexpensive clothing\, marketed as nearly disposable\, has warped our understanding of the true cost of textiles — for our planet and the people who make them. \n  \nClothing is a source of human comfort\, protection\, and expression. But making much of our clothing involves greenhouse gas emissions\, pesticides\, petrochemical production\, soil degradation\, landfill waste\, microplastics\, waterway pollution\, animal cruelty\, and toxic chemicals. To add insult to injury\, the workers who make our clothes often don’t earn enough to live on\, yet they are disproportionately affected by industrial pollution and climate change. \n  \nThere are better ways to make\, care for\, and adapt the clothes we need and want. Join us on May 14 to learn what we can do to remake this essential industry. \n\nRachel Ceruti recently merged her community-based circular fashion business\, Reclypt\, with FABSCRAP\, now acting as Community Director. Rachel is an award-winning leader with a global perspective\, leveraging her experience in the Peace Corps and sustainable finance\, to become a key player in the circular fashion space in New York City. Fueled by her passion for waste reduction and exceptional community building skills\, she has a proven track record of engaging diverse peoples in the mission of waste reduction through community action\, volunteerism\, and education. \n  \nSammy Cousino is a NYC Community Organizer for the nonprofit Remake\, which unites changemakers in the fight for human rights and climate justice in the clothing industry. She is currently pursuing her Master’s in Sustainability Management and brings a policy-informed\, people-centered approach to systems change. \n\n350Brooklyn is a volunteer-driven group that mobilizes people to take effective local action to address the climate crisis. We are committed to pursuing solutions that both reduce climate pollution and ensure that low-income New Yorkers and environmental justice communities participate fully in the benefits the shift to renewable energy will bring. \n

SUMMARY:A Very Modern Classical Evening (Prospect Park)
DESCRIPTION:Brooklyn’s favorite free theater\, Molière in the Park is back with a staged reading of Le’Asha Julius’ new play The Regulars + Molière’s The Ludicrous Ladies! \nAbout the Play: \n“Pairing The Regulars\, a short tragedy in verse by rapper\, actor\, and playwright Le’Asha Julius with The Ludicrous Ladies\, a one act comedy in prose by Molière might appear at first as an exercise in contrast. New versus old\, serious versus farcical\, political versus domestic… but in content and in form the plays\, of course\, are neither fully one nor the other. More importantly\, despite the time and space that separates their authors\, both plays center two impassioned women with complex desires. Desires they fight for\, and that may or may not be born exclusively out of the limitations imposed on them by their place in the world. Will this pairing open up an angle of reflection on women’s struggles and how they’ve evolved or persisted? We hope you’ll join us to find out!”\n– Lucie Tiberghien \nAbout Molière in the Park: \nMolière in the Park’s (MIP) mission is to promote empathy and unity within the diverse communities in Brooklyn through the arts. MIP offers free opportunities for all to come together in Prospect Park and experience the benefits of theater. MIP’s vision is of a Brooklyn where all communities can benefit equally from access to theater and the Arts.

SUMMARY:A Thousand and One Nights: Exploring Nocturnal Bird Migration (BK Central Library)
DESCRIPTION:For most of human existence\, the seasonal flight of migratory birds and insects has been hidden in plain sight in the night sky above us. The last century of technological advances accelerated our ability to see\, study\, and participate in this breathtaking effort millions of years in the making. All the while\, the landscapes to which these sojourners arrive are disappearing faster than ever. Join us as an urban birder\, rooftop farmer\, and author Annie Novak discusses her new work\, an illustrated narrative of the scientific understanding of nocturnal bird migration. Novak explores this emerging map with history\, humor\, curiosity\, and vibrant visual imagination\, prompting us to look at the skies above in a new light.  Learn about the new technology available to understand these incredible journeys\, and how to support birds along the way. \n\n\nAnnie Novak is the founder and director of Growing Chefs: Food Education from Field to Fork\, the Manager of the Edible Academy at the New York Botanical Garden; co-founder and farmer of the nation’s first green roof vegetable farm\, the Eagle Street Rooftop Farm in Greenpoint\, Brooklyn; and author of The Rooftop Growing Guide: How to Transform Your Roof into a Garden or Farm. She has served on the board of the American Bird Conservancy since 2018. Her words and work are widely featured in the New York Times\, Martha Stewart Living\, NPR\, and the September issue of Vogue\, among other publications.
