ÎÛÎÛ²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵ Sustainability Fair 2012
Vision 2020 is headlining ÎÛÎÛ²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵ’s second annual Sustainability Fair on Lower Field! Come learn about the ÎÛÎÛ²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵ community’s sustainability initiatives at this country-fair style event, find out what Vision 2020 has been up to over the summer, and help us refine a vision and goals for ÎÛÎÛ²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵ’s sustainable future.
In the Vision 2020 tent you can tour a museum-esque exhibit on the history of sustainability at ÎÛÎÛ²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵ, paint your sustainability vision, and join some facilitated conversations on the Vision 2020 themes of research, teaching, connectivity, governance and institutional footprint. These conversations will feed directly into ÎÛÎÛ²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵ’s Vision 2020 sustainability plan. Your voice is needed! (And your participation will earn you a chance to win a weekend apple-picking adventure for 4 at the Gault Nature Reserve, including a stay at their secluded private cabin).
Attendees will also be able to meet a calf from the Mac Farm, donate unwanted electronics, sample some sustainable food offerings, and watch the film H2Oil with an intro from director Shannon Walsh.
