Long Island Sustainability Series

The Long Island Sustainability Series (LIS²) is an educational series hosted by Farmingdale State College (FSC) in partnership with Suffolk Community College (SCCC) with funding from NYSP2I. The series is focused on pollution prevention (P2) and how Long Island residents can reduce their environmental impact. It is a mixture of lecture-style presentations by local experts and activity-based events, such as beach clean-ups and DIY green cleaning products.
