Green Fort Greene & Clinton Hill
Monday, October 1st, 2007
What and Why
We are making Fort Greene and Clinton Hill green neighborhoods with two goals in mind: reducing our contribution to global warming and our use of non-renewable resources.
We are doing this by promoting four actions. (Other steps will follow and other ideas are most welcome.)
• Buying electricity from sources that do not contribute to global warming
• Flooding the neighborhood with energy efficient light bulbs
• Promoting recycling and reducing refuse
• Getting many more street trees and other plantings in public spaces
The Fort Greene Association Is Looking for a Few Good…Homes!
Saturday, September 1st, 2007The 2008 Fort Greene House tour is just around the corner, and maybe your house should be included.
It’s never too early. The 28th Fort Greene House tour, which was held on May 7, 2006, was an overwhelming success. The homes were wonderful, interesting and varied. A great afternoon was had by all who participated. But why should you include your house in the 2008 house tour?
There are many reasons: your home may be historically accurate for its time; or it is architect–designed to meld the 19th & 21st centuries; or it reveals a contemporary environment in harmony with Fort Greene; or it has a distinctive garden. There are many reasons.
The Fort Greene Association House Tour provides us with the important opportunity to tell the world that we are proud of our ever-evolving community; its homes, its people, its underlying spirit. Be a part of it.
For more information about having your house on the tour, or if you know someone whose house should be, please contact [email protected]
