Meet Seth Leitman and Brian Howard, the authors of Green Lighting, McGraw-Hill’s new book in their Green Guru Guide series during the Rock The Reactors benefit at the Hiro Ballroom in New York City on July 14, Bastille Day, 88th 9th Av. starting promptly at 8pm.

Rock The Reactors, an anti-nuclear group dedicated to the shut down of the Indian Point nuclear power plant 30 miles North of Manhattan, which includes many ex-Indian Point workers working green jobs in the solar and LED industry, is inviting the anti-coal and anti-nuclear leadership to meet trend setters in the green fashion and design community, creating a strong coalition in support of the work done by dozens of IPSEC member organizations to prevent another catastrophic accident.

Anyone and everyone with something to say, something to sing, will have three minutes on stage. Commoners and celebrities alike. Poets, musicians, activists, dreamers, salesmen, dancers… three minutes to express your dismay, desire or involvement in shutting down Indian Point! (or BP)

Bastille Day at the Hiro Ballroom is sponsored by the Project Green Search modeling competition, in partnership with Greendrinks, GreenMUA and Global Green USA. Sonic soundscapes provided by Martin Ear. Performance by C.B. Heinemann.
