			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;ve received a number of inquiries lately from folks wondering where to recycle CFL bulbs locally (the bulbs contain a small amount of mercury, and shouldn&#8217;t be thrown out with the trash). This Wednesday the answer is at Brooklyn Green Drinks, hosted by <a href="http://bcue.org" target="blank">Center for the Urban Environment</a> at their beautiful new home, a showplace for green building practices. </p>

<p>Founded in 1978, Brooklyn Center for the Urban Environment is dedicated to educating individuals about the built and natural environments of New York City. Creators of the Green Brooklyn conference and the Sustainable Business Network, the Center is a local leader in the field whose commitment to strengthening public education and developing more sustainable communities is rooted in the belief that creating a healthy and livable environment requires instilling an appreciation for and an understanding of the built and natural environments.  Their wide range of programs address the needs of the city&#8217;s underserved communities with a diverse menu of hands-on educational offerings that develop an understanding of the interdependency of urban life with the local ecosystem, improving academic performance and instruction, and fostering environmental stewardship.</p>
