'Tis the season to be....sustainable! Holiday craft fair

When: December 4th
Time: 2pm to 5pm
Where: James Dunn Hall
What:
Come celebrate the holidays by enjoying local apple cider and snacks, buying locally made crafts for gifts, enjoying some music, and learning about ethical and environmentally friendly gift ideas! Many students as well as vendors from the Boyce Farmer's market will have their goods for sale. All are welcome. (Bring the kids too!)


If you are a musician, crafty person, artisan, artist, or have any sort of cool local and/or sustainable gift ideas come set up a table! We also need help organizing and getting people to come out. Please contact stusustainability@gmail.com

Any proceeds made by Students for Sustainability will be going to the Multicultural Association of Fredericton and the UNB Woodlot defense fund. Vendors may also contribute to these charities if they wish.

Have an eco-holiday! Trees and Turkeys!

Students for Sustainability had a great brainstorming session and we came up with an exciting idea. The holidays are for spending time with family, eating delicious food, listening to music, relaxing, and generally enjoying yourself. They also have become a highly consumerist time with lots of waste created. In order to Get Back to Basics we want to have an eco-holiday festival centred around four main components:
1. Music
2. [Sustainable and local] Food
3. [Ecologically friendly] gifts
4. Action

So we're calling on the Fredericton community to come out and join us in an afternoon of celebration of sharing. Whether it be eating local food, making eco-friendly gifts, selling your hand-crafted wares or art, sharing your skills of gift-wrapping or craft-making, sharing your musical talents, or making a holiday eco-pledge there's something for everyone at our Eco-Holiday Fair!  If you'd like to come out and join us in some way or another let us know at stusustainability@gmail.com

Date for this event is tentatively Saturday December 4th.
All proceeds will be going to a local charity.
Location: James Dunn Hall at STU campus
