What’s in store for Columbia County’s First-Ever Climate Carnival?
The Repair Café

Waste not! Bring your broken stuff to get repaired.
Sign up for the Repair Café so we can be prepared

Free Store

Pick up items your neighbors don’t need anymore. Did we say it’s free?

Compost Compound

Why should you compost your kitchen scraps? Food waste is bad for the environment. Find out how to turn it into gold—aka nutrient-rich soil—or just learn where to drop off your leftovers.

Bike Recycling

Give. Take. Donate. Receive. (And then ride like the wind.)

Electric Cars

They’re all the rage. Interested? Swing by and see an EV or hybrid up close.

 Save $ + Save the Planet

Can WE actually use renewable energy? It’s confusing, right? Find out how it works on the local level…and also how weatherize your house, heat with fewer—or zero!—fossil fuels and less money. It’s called motivation.

 Entertainment

Planet-friendly music. Laughs. A live environmental “quiz.” Maybe even poetry? Stay tuned.

 Food

Yummy food trucks galore.

 Bring the Kids

Visit with a beekeeper. Hit educational stations to earn a treat. Your kids might even learn about climate change—and how to combat it!

  And much more…

Learn about:

  • Pathways to renewable energy

  • Sustainable farming

  • The impacts of waste

  • What local towns are doing to lower their carbon footprints

Meet:

  • Some of the local organizations that are taking Climate Action in our communities, including a dozen town Climate Smart Committees, local businesses, and not-for-profit organizations
