    Discover zero-waste products, learn about composting, explore environmental advocacy groups, and find practical solutions for living more sustainably. From the eco-curious to the eco-committed, there’s something for everyone at this community celebration of sustainable living.

    Volunteers are critical in making this event happen. As a volunteer, you will help out with collecting items for reuse/repair/recycling; sort and pack items; set-up/take-down; run the costume-sway; and welcome/count guests.
