Newburyport Green Expo

Newburyport Green Expo

The Newburyport Green Expo is a fun, engaging event for our greater community to come together to discuss climate change responses, learn about our city government eco-friendly direction, and discover actions we can personally take to contribute to solutions today. Come see the many energy saving and environmentally friendly solutions in our exhibit hall. Find out more about how smart, small changes in food and other consumption choices can reduce waste, boost recycling and composting, and increase energy conservation. Speak with concerned industry changemakers who will share their expertise about moving towards NetZero. Stop by the Repair Café with your items in need of repair! And, don't forget to see the very enlighting student presentations too! Join us on April 11th!
