Why Energy Efficiency Matters

When I first brought up the topic about the Neighborhood Energy Forum to my parents, their question was “is that what you’re studying for Psychology?”

We’re excited to invite you to another Monthly Volunteer Gathering at Vox Pop Cafe with Sustainable Flatbush! (Our second one, yay!) We’re going to be talking a lot about our next big event of the spring, the Neighborhood Energy Forum on March 20th. We all want to learn about how to make our homes more energy efficient, right? Who doesn’t like saving money and the environment at the same time?

Come learn about the event, share your energy-related stories (or any story, really!), and mingle with others in your community that see the need for change. Also, there’s delicious coffee and food at this one-of-a-kind café we love to hang out in!

Make sure you stay after the talk to enjoy some groovy live Blues music.
WHEN: Tuesday, March 9th, 6:30-8pm
WHERE: Vox Pop Cafe, 1022 Cortelyou Road

See you there!
