Sustainability Day & Green Living Fair

Description

This two-day event will showcase ideas, tools, and services for climate resilience and a sustainable future that community members, municipalities, educational institutions and local businesses can use when working together. Sustainability Day will be held on Friday, April 22 from 1 to 10 pm at St. Lawrence University, as a project of the Associated Colleges. Public events include a keynote speaker, reception, workshops, book signing and a play! Keynote speaker Robin Wall Kimmerer is a mother, scientist, and award-winning author. She is a decorated professor and enrolled member of the Citizen Potawatomi Nation, a federally recognized, traditionally Algonquian-speaking Eastern Woodlands tribe. The following day, Saturday April 23 from 10 to 3, the Green Living Fair will be held once again, this time rotating to St. Lawrence’s University’s Leithead Fieldhouse on Park St. in the village of Canton, NY. Information on electric vehicles, a tree planting, a live feed from SAM (Science, Art, Music) Fest, a "Power House" (mini-house showcasing energy efficiency) and more will be featured at the Green Living Fair. Both events are free and open to the public and share multiple workshops, exhibitors, and displays. The goal is to help everyone save money, create jobs and contribute to our local economy by sharing ways to reduce emissions and adapt to climate change. Sustainability Day & the Green Living Fair are coordinated each year by the North Country Partnership for Environmental Action, Community and Sustainability (NoCoPEACS), constituting over a dozen local schools, organizations and business sponsors.
