Babylon Sustainability Fair

Join us for presentations, workshops, networking and open discussions on waste reduction, composting and native gardens.

Visit a wide variety of tables offering resources to help Long Islanders save money, reduce energy use, join community solar programs, compare electric vehicle models, and learn about local laws that protect nature’s rights and environmental health. Discover opportunities to integrate vertical gardening into classrooms and workplace wellness programs, access nutrition education, explore volunteer opportunities at local farms and food drives, receive SNAP eligibility assistance, and much more.

• Learn from NYS-DEC what happens to your trash after it’s picked up from the curb and where it gets processed, including how Reworld safely converts it into electricity at the local waste-to-energy facility.

• Explore easy and practical ways from LI Organics Initiative on how to recycle and compost in your backyard, including how to purchase discounted composting equipment and get coached to turn food scraps into nutrient-rich soil.

• Get inspired from ReWild on the benefits of native gardens and how you can support local pollinators, conserve water, and help restore Long Island’s endangered ecosystems right in your own homes. Take packets of seeds to start growing indoors now and get landscape design recommendations for your yard.
