About Windsor Sustainability Fair:
This Windsor Sustainability Fair is designed to educate,
inspire, entertain, and engage the town of Windsor and neighboring
communities about zero waste, sustainable living and to support our
group’s efforts to shift Windsor’s dependency off fossil fuels by the
year 2033. The fair will showcase exhibits on composting,
native/invasive plants, recycling, local & sustainably made
products, as well as vendors for energy efficiency, solar, heat pumps,
electric vehicles and more. Family fun for all ages including face
painting, music, raffles and games.
We want our community to learn that sustainability is a way of life that is attainable for all. There are a number of ways you can participate and we'd love to hear from you to talk about how you can get involved.
