Price: 
FREE

Vision 2020 is headlining ²»Á¼Ñо¿Ëù’s second annual Sustainability Fair on Lower Field! Come learn about the ²»Á¼Ñо¿Ëù 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 ²»Á¼Ñо¿Ëù’s sustainable future.

In the Vision 2020 tent you can tour a museum-esque exhibit on the history of sustainability at ²»Á¼Ñо¿Ëù, 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 ²»Á¼Ñо¿Ëù’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.
