The theme of this program is “Accountability in Sustainability.” This program will focus on waste reduction in schools, the township’s recycling plans, climate solutions from Rutgers University researchers, and a call to action for government and industry.
 
“Accountability for Sustainability” is led by a panel of experts that includes East Brunswick Township Mayor Dr. Brad Cohen, Dr. Victor Valeski (Superintendent, East Brunswick Public Schools), Dr. Roger Wang (Assistant Professor, Climate Solutions, Rutgers University), Melissa Novak (Science Teacher at Churchill Junior High School), Daivik Patel and Shrenik Patel (co-authors The Essential Guide to Understanding Sustainability), and a representative from the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection.
 
The panel will be moderated by Nancy Kranich, Lecturer and Special Projects Librarian at Rutgers University–New Brunswick. Following the program, salvaged art sculptures from East Brunswick Public Schools Students will be on display. Attendees will also have the opportunity to write letters to elected officials, view sustainability resources, and find out what “green” houses of worship can do for our community.
 
Attendees can also drop off dead pens, crayons, markers and used sneakers for recycling. There will also be “green” door prizes as well.
 
This program is sponsored by the East Brunswick Sustainability Task Force, East Brunswick Hadassah, ADK (Alpha  Delta Kappa Chapter) and the East Brunswick Public Library.
