The Jackson-Macon Conservation Alliance would like to
invite you to participate in our Green Living Fair to be
held in Highlands, N.C. on Saturday August 2, 2008. The
entire event will be held at the Highlands Civic Center.
The fair will consist of vendors and conservation groups
that embody various aspects of green building and
green living. We think your business/organization would
be a good fit, and we welcome your participation.
By bringing together like-minded businesses and organizations, we hope to provide the necessary tools and resources to advance towards a "greener" way of living, allowing individuals and families to discover different opportunities to lessen their impact on the planet while still balancing the comforts and necessities of modern-day life.
In addition to booths in the main hall, we will have classes and movies throughout the day. From 7 to 11 a.m. there will be a tailgate local produce market in the parking lot.
The Jackson-Macon Conservation Alliance is a grassroots organization whose mission is to address environmental issues affecting the Highlands-Cashiers plateau through education, advocacy, hands-on initiatives, and collaboration with like-minded organizations. Our vision is to help create a plateau with a high-quality natural environment, with clean streams and air and abundant forests and wildlife, and on which public and private decisions are grounded in a caring concern for the environment.
Together we can help create a level of environmental awareness that inspires people to recognize the effects such efforts toward sustainability can have on a community. We sincerely hope that you will partner with us in this effort by participating in the Green Living Fair on August 2nd.
Sincerely,
David M. Bates
