What’s in store for Columbia County’s next 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.

Electric Cars

They’re all the rage. Interested? Swing by and see an EV or Plug-In Hybrid up close (pending dealer availability).

Save $ + Save the Planet

Can we use renewable energy? Find out how it works on the local level…and also how to weatherize your house, heat with fewer—or zero!—fossil fuels and less money.

Entertainment

Planet-friendly music. Laughs. Stay tuned.

Food

Tasty food trucks!

Bring the Kids

Visit the Birds of Prey. Hit educational stations. Your kids might even learn about climate change—and how to combat it!

And much more…
