Sustainability Day & Green Living Festival

Description

Sustainability Day & Green Living Festival
The Associated Colleges of the St. Lawrence Valley and Paul Smith’s College are pleased to announce that the annual Sustainability Day and Green Living Festival will take place on October 28, 2023 at Clarkson University. This event is a true academic-community initiative to celebrate, share and learn about sustainability initiatives and opportunities on our campuses and in our communities. The effort is once again being coordinated by NoCoPEACS, the North Country Partnership for Environmental Action, Community, and Sustainability. The group includes academics, community organizers and local institutions who have organized these environmentally-oriented events since 2016.

This event is free and open to the public. It will include a green living exhibit & fair, workshops, posters and keynote speakers. The exhibits feature tabling by community organizations, renewable energy and environmentally oriented businesses, local food service, topical posters created by area students, outdoor learning activities, an informational display of electric vehicles. A fun and educational "Kid's Zone" is always a feature as well.

Potential participants, exhibitors and volunteers are encouraged to contact the organizers at GreenLivingNNY@gmail.com or via NoCoPEACS on Facebook.
