Things are happening in Marshak 923! The Biolab featuring our small scale is getting a big upgrade. Soon everyone will be able to compost on campus and feed our larger vermicomposter setup (first photo). Right now, we are laying the bedding with everything from the boxes the soil came in to collected rollers from doggy p**p bags! We will be able to give out compost for home soon too. Stay tuned for more!

Join us for a hands-on mask-making workshop led by artist, sustainability manager, and CCNY Urban Sustainability alumna Abby Manwiller, where we will transform recyclables into wearable art. Using metal, plastic, and paper, participants will create expressive masks while exploring how waste connects to climate justice, environmental justice, and waste equity. Through creative play and conversation, we’ll reflect on who carries the burdens of consumption and disposal—and transform everyday discards into bold statements about the systems behind what we throw away.
No art experience needed—materials + light refreshments provided! Plus, we’ll have a photobooth so you can pose and show off your mask creations 📸
