Get
excited: next weekend is the annual Sustainable
Living Fair. In its thirteenth year, the fair hosts workshops, exhibits,
keynote speakers and vendors aiming to educate the community about everything
sustainability related.
Fair
attendees are able to walk around the fair, visiting different booths, engaging
in interactive events and learning how to be more sustainable in their own
lives and also on a larger scale. All the while, live music plays in the
background and delicious food beckons to you at every turn.
This
year’s keynote
speakers include Alexandra Cousteau, a National Geographic filmmaker,
Seleyn DeYarus, CEO of America’s Best Organics, Rachel Kaplan, author of “Urban
Homesteading,” and Wendy Pabich, founder of Water Futures.
The
fair is held at Fort Collins’ Legacy Park and the fair provides a visitor
shuttle. The fair opens at 10 am on both Saturday, Sept. 15 and Sunday,
Sept. 16. Admission is $8, with free admission for youth under 12. Tickets can
be purchased at the fair entrance.
I
volunteered with the fair last year, selling tickets. It is a great opportunity
to learn more about how to make your livelihood more sustainable, as well as
the great community organizations that are working hard to pave the way for a
sustainable future.
