Founded in 1987, one of the first organizations to offer community-based recycling and composting programs in NYC by providing innovative recycling drop-off centers.

Farewell dear friends of Peace

 My neighbor, Ron Sherbet
views the Williamsburg Bridge from one side...
and the other, as we wend our way toward home
passing flowering young trees
and native grasses along the way
providing landscape interest.
They make a joyful noise when the wind blows.
