The Monarch
Festival is an eco-friendly fair; focused on green initiatives like
climate change action, gardening, waste reduction/recycling,
environmentalism, and protection of the endangered monarch butterfly.
This year 'First Town Downtown' is partnering with Windsor Climate
Action to gather all our environment-friendly activities in one place so
you can enjoy it all.
The
Drive Electric Showcase is organized and hosted by the Global
Environmental Sustainability Action Coalition and the Sustainability
Program of the Central Connecticut State University Geography
Department.
About Windsor Monarch Project:
This
Windsor Eco-Monarch Project serves to preserve the health of the
Monarch Butterfly through the implementation of 'raise and release
programs,' planting habitats, and educating the public the vital
importance the monarch plays in our environment.
About Global Environmental Action Coalition:
The Global Environmental Sustainability Action Coalition is a grassroots group of
current and former CCSU students, administrators, and faculty, committed to providing
cross-disciplinary information and solutions on how to live our lives in a way that
is sustainable and in harmony with nature. Founded initially as the CCSU Climate Action
Coalition in 2007, we have since expanded our scope to the larger issue of environmental
sustainability. In 2008, we held our inaugural Global Sustainability and Climate Change
Symposium in support of Focus the Nation. At this three day event, more than 1,000
people, including college faculty & students, K-12 school students and teachers, community
members, non-governmental organizations, and federal and state governmental officials
attended.
