Bet you
didn't know that News Bonners
Ferry was an eco-friendly website! While
the computer used to keep the site
updated plugs into the wall, the Ipower
servers that make it available to the
world are powered solely by wind.
And look! A local "paper" wasting no
paper! |
The second annual Earth Day Fair is coming to
the Boundary County Fairgrounds from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday, April 23, as
organizer's had so much fun last year, they're
doing it again ... but bigger and better!
They got off to a good start last year, and are
building on that success this year, educating
and inspiring our community toward a better,
brighter and
greener future by showing how families and
businesses can benefit by adopting sustainable living practices.
Anyone who has an idea, information or a product
to sell with the motif of keeping it green, or
those who'd like to educate people in our
community about the 3-Rs ... reduce, reuse and
recycle, are encouraged to participate.
All those interested in learning more about
green living, how our community is fitting in
and what each family can do ... or who just want
to have fun and meet people and socialize, are
encouraged to stop by for a visit, as there will
be food booths, children's activities, a free
swap meet, music and much more.
Performers on line to appear include the
inimitable Barb Robertson, Pamela Bennett, even
a local Marimba band. In addition, guest
speakers will give talks on energy efficient
housing, wildlife rehabilitation, gardening and
the amazing life of bees.
Organizers, emboldened by the success of last
year's Earth Day Fair, have spread their wings
this year, expanding their advertising campaign
beyond the Boundary County Community and working
more closely with local businesses to make sure
that their efforts in the drive to "Go Green"
are not only noticed, but able to show why it
makes good business sense to practice
sustainability.
