When you sign this petition you lend your support in asking Baruch College to host a Greenpoint oil spill awareness week. This awareness week would help educate the Baruch population to the oil spill in Greenpoint, Brooklyn. This spill is the second largest  in U.S. history and unlike other oil spills of this magnitude the one in Greenpoint has gone largely unnoticed by the majority of New Yorkers.

I really thought this might just float into the void unnoticed but seeing all this energy behind the Greenpoint spill makes me realize people actually care about what happened right under our noses. It feels surreal and honestly a little overwhelming to see the momentum building like this because I truly wasn't sure if anyone would pay attention to a forgotten disaster in Brooklyn.

Most people at school think Brooklyn is just brunch and overpriced coffee. They have no idea about the toxic waste sitting right under Greenpoint. We need to talk about this.

I grew up near here and people still have no clue how bad it really was. About time we brought this up on campus.
