“Living green” has become more than a catchphrase as more people try to
live green. It’s the direction people are taking as the importance of protecting the
environment becomes a growing focal point for the planet. While “living green” once
just meant sorting recyclables, it has evolved into making lifestyle changes that are
environmentally friendly and sustainable. To further these efforts, Siuslaw News,
KCST Radio and the Florence Area Chamber of Commerce will host Florence’s
seventh-annual Green Fair on Saturday, June 11.
Businesses will assemble at the Florence Events Center with information and
displays demonstrating how consumers and businesses can choose products and take
simple steps to create less waste, save money, be healthful to the environment and
leave a smaller carbon footprint on the planet.
Whether it is about recycling, using less energy or protecting the soil, air and
foods we eat, the Florence Green Fair will offer ideas and solutions for adopting a
greener lifestyle.
“Businesses will gather to show local consumers how to improve their lifestyle
while preserving this planet,” said Siuslaw News general manager Jenna Bartlett.
“Children and adults will learn how easy it is to be environmentally friendly. Equally
important, the show is an opportunity for vendors to introduce their products and
services in a way that is meaningful to people who want to make such changes.”
Exhibits, seminars and interactive activities are scheduled through the day, from
10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Admission to the Florence Green Fair is $3.
