Sunday, March 20th, 1-3:30PM – First Unitarian Sustainability Fair

Learning about and living a more sustainable life will be the theme of the first Sustainability Fair sponsored by First Unitarian Congregational Society on Sunday, March 20th from 1:00 until 3:30 PM in the McKinney Chapel on Pierrepont Street between Clinton Street and Monroe Place. The event is sponsored by the Congregation’s Sustainability Group and Weaving the Fabric of Diversity. Both groups are organized to support the congregation’s mission statement to work for “social justice and stewardship of the earth”.

Information and guides to action will be featured at more than 10 tables in the Church Undercroft, including recycling and composting, energy conservation and solar energy, “green” volunteering in parks and community gardens, and water conservation, among others. There will be special children’s activities illustrating the theme and a special performance by Judy Gorman.

Keynote speakers at 1 PM will be Ishi Sahni, Development Director of GrowNYC and James White, Lay Leader of St. Mary’s Episcopal Church-Harlem. Ms. Sahni will describe Project Farm, the organization’s planned sustainability and education center. Mr. White’s presentation will be “Fighting Global Warming Means Environmental JUSTICE!

Following the presentations, participants will be invited to browse the tables and speak with the organizers and presenters. Coffee and tea will be made available, throughout the event.
