Hello Go-Greeners!

Winter has made it's first chilly appearance, and what can we say but WELCOME! Doesn't Winter need all the help it can get these days? Let's put those signs in our storefronts and windows: Cold Welcome Here.  We must preserve it or we won't deserve it!

In this week's issue: Micro-Gentrification hits North Brooklyn, and a host of eco events from the Sunnyside Swap to a Soil Symposium.  Plus, a place to share your events and going-ons.
