The Expo will take place on April 11, 4-8pm at the R.A. Nock Middle School, 70 Low Street, Newburyport.
The purpose of the Green Expo is to encourage a broader dialogue in our community about the direction the city is taking with regards to energy, waste, and resiliency; showcase the political support for change; present activities in schools regarding infrastructure changes (e.g. solar panels, composting, etc.) and environmental education; increase visibility of businesses that are offering jobs, services and products to our community; and the non-profit groups that are encouraging us to be better stewards of our environment. Information about the event can be found online or on Facebook at “Greater-Newburyport-Green-Expo”. People of all ages are encouraged to attend, and we are looking for volunteers to help with the set-up and clean-up. Contact Bill Clary, 918-645-7525 (yes, 918), williamclary860@gmail.com. The FRS Climate Action Project (CAP) is a founding group of the Greater Newburyport Green Expo.
