GardeningNude: Support Healthy Living Have A Green Fair!

Support Healthy Living – Have A Green Fair!

How do you live healthier? How do you learn more about living a green lifestyle and what that means? There’s so much information out there it can be quite confusing.

My suggestion is to educate your community by getting awesome experts from your community who can better define “green living” and the have a fun experience together.

Two great organizations in my county in Illinois are doing just that - Cantigny and SCARCE are hosting their first-ever Green Fair on Saturday, September 26. The event, from 10 am to 4 pm, will be a great way to see new environmental technologies and ideas.

Focused on green lifestyle living, there will be cooking demonstrations, presentations, eco-activities and all sorts of educational opportunities for the community.

Most importantly, there will be a “Recycling Extravaganza” at the event. This is a special drop-off recycling event where people can drop off everything from books, to metals, to tennis shoes, to bikes, to electronic waste without ever getting out of the car. All donated products are reduced, reused, and/or recycled. It is a beautiful thing for the community as it keeps products out of the landfill.

Come to the Cantigny Green Fair on Saturday, September 26th from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM. If you do not live in Illinois, go to the Cantigny and SCARCE websites and learn more about how you can really make a difference for your community by having a Green Fair. A great first step towards having more of your neighbors understand what living “green” really means.

This is a great and inspiring idea. I have to say that I'm glad I live where I don't have to be the organizer, but can enjoy being a supporter of all the Green events that abound in Franklin County. I'm looking forward to The Festival that Stinks - the Garlic and Arts festival on Oct. 3 & 4.
