The Commons Brooklyn

The event is NOT at The Commons on Atlantic. It is at Marina 59 (www.marina59.com),
Take the A train to Beach 60th Street and walk a few blocks to 5914 Beach Channel Drive.

Expedition Gowanus is getting ready for ‘Off the Grid and On the Water’, our urban sustainability residency program, and they want you to help! They will be
* BUILDING A MINI GREEN ROOF
* RE-ORIENTING THEIR SOLAR PANELS
* ADJUSTING THEIR RAINWATER HARVESTING SYSTEM
* RE-PLANTING THEIR LIVING MACHINE

They admit that they will also be sanding, applying fresh paint and moving materials. Who knows, maybe some of you will have a skill or project you want to present/share too, and there will be even more to do! Bring your experience or bring your questions.

Expedition Gowanus will also be breaking ground on their next project (hint: it involves a golden toilet, oars, and a homemade wind turbine).  Five blocks from the A train. Four blocks from the beach. Right smack in the middle of NYC’s first ‘houseboat hotel community’ and ‘boat in movie theatre’. Pack a lunch and make an adventure of it.

Unfortunately space limitations exist for parts of this event, so RSVP to ExpeditionGowanus@gmail.com to reserve your spot and for information on accessing the gate.

Expedition Gowanus is a NYC based ecological design project that utilizes green building as a medium to educate, inspire and promote concepts in urban sustainability. These goals are achieved through the facilitation of public presentations, hands on workshops, and the creation of sustainably designed water/food/energy systems.
