The Fanwood Green Fair, held on Saturday, July 23, attracted visitors and exhibitors from around New Jersey. Michael Thwaite of Warren exhibited his 2010 Tesla Roadster.
The event was presented by the Fanwood Green Team. The overall objective of the fair was to encourage people to “go green” and lead ecofriendly lifestyles that foster environmental sustainability. In order to do so, the fair offered an array of organic and naturally-derived products, as well as handmade gelato and sorbet by the artisans at Lickt.
Visitors were also educated about environmentally-friendly actions, such as making a lasagna garden and investing in gutter protection, CFL bulbs and energy-saving systems like solar panels. The electric Tesla car was an additional display of a beneficial, low-impact source of living. The fair also directed attention to the effects of climate change through advocacy groups like Citizen Climate Lobby.
