The fair will showcase exhibits on composting, native/invasive plants, recycling, local & sustainably made products, as well as vendors for energy efficiency, solar, heat pumps, electric vehicles and more. Family fun for all ages including face painting, music, raffles and games.

About Global Environmental Action Coalition:
The Global Environmental Sustainability Action Coalition is a grassroots group of
current and former CCSU students, administrators, and faculty, committed to providing
cross-disciplinary information and solutions on how to live our lives in a way that
is sustainable and in harmony with nature. Founded initially as the CCSU Climate Action
Coalition in 2007, we have since expanded our scope to the larger issue of environmental
sustainability. In 2008, we held our inaugural Global Sustainability and Climate Change
Symposium in support of Focus the Nation. At this three day event, more than 1,000
people, including college faculty & students, K-12 school students and teachers, community
