Footprint Forward

Attention low impact high lifers! There’s a great event coming up at NYU to help you learn how to live lighter:

NYU Footprint Forward Week (November 5-12) is about making an active difference in a livable way. Though presentations, workshops, a guidebook, and an online community, we hope to inspire over 500 students and community members at NYU and in the surrounding neighborhood to live as close to a zero net impact lifestyle as possible for the duration of the week.

While low-impact living necessitates some changes in lifestyle, Footprint Forward is ultimately about doing more, not less. It means making choices that are within the boundaries of our professional, academic and personal needs that help sustain our school, our city, and our world – as well as ourselves.

Footprint Forward begins on November 4th with a private workshop with “No Impact Man” Colin Beavan and culminates in a community wide lecture in the Great Hall at Cooper Union on November 12th. Throughout the week there will be positive impact events, lectures, volunteer opportunities, social opportunities and more. All are welcome to participate to whatever degree they are comfortable.
