Greetings!
We are looking for participant sustainability orgs/local vendors/
educational
material contributors/performers/etc. for the First Annual Winter
Green Gift
Festival and Holiday Party to take place the evening of December 2
in the
Women's Community Building. Silicon Solar, a local renewable energy
company,
will be sponsoring this event in preparation for the Holiday Season
and the
Climate Change Summit in Copenhagen. This event will help to promote
local
and low-carbon products as well as sustainable practices that will
help to
make this a low-carbon Holiday Season!
This will be a combination gift and local foods fair as well as a
festive
educational gathering. We want to make the event as inclusive as
possible
and hope for a great turn-out. Activities at this event will include:
. A sustainable gift fair: solar powered products, green
building/renewable energy books, local handicrafts, and local wine,
cheese,
and other consumables
. Free refreshments
. Live music
. Information about carbon reductions and renewable energy
initiatives in Ithaca
. Educational booths and slideshows
There are a lot of exciting things going on locally, nationally, and
internationally in preparation for the Copenhagen Climate Change
Conference
and we hope to bring the larger Ithacan community together to
exchange ideas
and celebrate the Holiday Season.
We will have tables for information from participant organizations
at no
charge. We only ask that you help get the word out! Please contact
Rosie
([email protected]) if you would like to participate or have
questions.
Cheers,
Rosie Hoyem
