Green Rock and Bowl

Peter Shapiro, an environmental advocate and musical entrepreneur, has built the environmentally-friendly club and bowling alley Brooklyn Bowl scheduled to open later this week. It has environmental efficiency? Cool, but will you rock to It? The "multi-million dollar" project is complete with a recycled-rubber stage, food catered by Blue Ribbon and a 16-lane bowling alley. Lights in the bathroom are motion-sensored, the wood is provided from well-managed forests and it was built according to standards of the United States Green Building Council’s Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design program. Other clubs have adapted environmentally-conscious decisions in their designs, such as energy-efficient-lighting at The Fillmore New York at Irving Plaza and environmental footprint study at AEG Live, but no club or bowling alley comes as green as Brooklyn Bowl.


I was less than impressed with the choice of lead in this article. This idea was very interesting and the lead was very bland. The body of the article was very well put together and it made for an interesting read, but that might have been because it was such an interesting story to begin with!
