NEPM: Climate Change and Farming Week at Garlic and the Arts Festival
Monte, Kaliis, and CISA’s Stephen Taranto visit Orange, MA, for the setup of the North Quabbin Garlic & the Arts Festival. Coinciding with CISA’s Climate Change and Farming Week, the festival offers sustainability activities, solutions, and education, called Portal to the Future.
The Portal highlights some of the ways that art, food, small-scale farming, renewable energy, smart transportation, care for the land, and hand skills all contribute to community-building and local resilience.
This space houses the “Energy Tent,” a place to display and present topics on renewable energy and local living skills.
The “Portal to the Future” includes a variety of electric vehicles and e-bikes! There are also booths in the Portal with new technology, ideas and experts for consideration and learning.
