 REVIEW THE 2ND ANNUAL GREEN WEEK EVENTS!!! This year's events were great and varied! View the Weeks events here. Sustainable Pratt membership had grown by leaps and bounds, and we are still growing! Meeting at 12:15pm on the first wednesday of every month, in the Faculty Dining Room, Pratt's Brooklyn Campus. The events are representative of the great diversity and commitment of all members. We have tried to give equal representation to all aspects of sustainability: social equity, environmental sensitivity and economic vitality. Each day of the week had a theme and activities were mostly scheduled to take place outdoors as to make events more available to the surrounding community.
