Summit Creates Local Grassroots Coalition for Environmental Change
Over 100 Westchester area organizations have partnered with the Bedford Environmental Summit (BES), a grassroots effort culminating on January 31, 2009, in a full-day event to raise awareness of the most pressing environmental issues of the day.
The Summit will offer a comprehensive format of 28 workshops and lectures, networking opportunities and an expo. Drawing from the best minds in environmental policy, the Summit’s roster of 85 speakers and panelists will address issues like oil consumption, school food, a climate action plan for Bedford, locally supported agriculture, school and community gardens, oceans in peril, biodiversity, water conservation and recycling, among others.
“We expect that every individual who attends the Summit will walk away with a better understanding of what each of us can do, in our own backyard, to address the environmental issues we face today,” said Steering Committee Chair, Olivia Farr.
The Summit will be held at Fox Lane High School. Tickets for the event are $25 in advance online and $35 on the day of the event. Student tickets are $10. To purchase your ticket, or for more information about the Summit, go to www.sustainablebedford.org.
