It’s time again for the Corvallis Sustainability Coalition<\/a>‘s annual event, the Sustainability Fair and Town hall<\/a>! This year, the event will be taking place Thursday, March 12th at the CH2MHill Alumni Center (725 SW 26th Street) on OSU campus.<\/p>\n

Starting at\u00a05 pm, you’ll be able to visit more than 50 hands-on exhibits that represent various partner organizations and action teams of the Corvallis Sustainability Coalition. This year, the Sustainability Fair will be providing a Kid’s activity room, where children can engage in activities relating to the earth and to the community.<\/p>\n

Food for the event will be provided by Valley Catering, and the entire event will be waste-free. String Rain, a gypsy-inspired folk group, will be providing musical entertainment throughout the fair. This trio features Rosalie Bienek on violin, Roy \u201cRaven\u201d Crowe on guitar and trombone, and Gabriel Surley playing percussion.\"11025203_772528356158667_5754232488127336682_n\"<\/a><\/p>\n

At 7 pm, after the Fair comes to a close, the interactive Town Hall meeting will commence. The keynote speaker for this year’s meeting is Sean McGuire, a national expert on well-being indicators. McGuire supports\u00a0alternatives to the GDP that include not only true economic health, but environmental and social health, as well. The focus of Sean\u2019s talk and follow-up discussion will be developing measures of community well-being.<\/p>\n
