Merrickville Goes Green
Recorder & Times / Nick Gardiner / 09 March 2010
A fledgling organization with hopes of being a catalyst for developing sustainable practices in Merrickville has planned an eco-friendly fair April 17.
Merrickville Goes Green was formed in January with seven core members and six other people willing to participate on a project-by-project basis, said spokesman Scott Kelland in an e-mail exchange with the Recorder and Times.
Kelland said the group shares a common belief that businesses and people need to move to more sustainable practices.
He said the organization is intent on making a difference in the community and it has received a positive response from village residents, municipal council and local businesses.
The first event being planned is an eco-friendly fair, featuring local vendors and exhibitors and several presentations on the theme of green living, said Kelland.
