Green Fair Shines on Rainy Day

The rain could not dampen the spirits of the Millburn Green Team on Sunday, when they brought Green Fair for Earth Day inside the Bauer Center at Taylor Park.

"We were so pleased with the success of yesterday's Green Fair," said Rene Paparian. "Especially given the weather."

Children planted seeds and built solar ovens out of pizza boxes, and fairgoers were able to recycle their plastic bags, purchase high-efficiency CFL lighting kits to help the Millburn Green Team's future sustainable living education programs, and take home pine seedlings.

A group of Millburn High School students were there to raise awareness of the detrimental environmental effects of leaving your car idling, even for a few seconds.

There were demonstrations of backyard composting and how much less energy CFL lights use. In addition, Millburn resident Brian Halpin's jazz band, the Heptocratics, and a bluegrass band entertained fairgoers.

And of course, your green online news source was there.
