Visitors will have a chance to do this list of items:
- Tour two tiny homes.
- Pick up free bicycle gear.
- Try an e-scooter.
- Learn about plastic pollution and how to turn single-use plastics into reusable items.
- Hear more about Sarasota in Motion, the City’s transportation master plan.
- See why putting fats, oils and greases down the kitchen drain is so bad.
Also, in recognition of Arbor Day and the City of Sarasota’s celebration of 33 years of being designated as a “Tree City USA” by the Arbor Day Foundation, some attendees will also be able to take home one of more than 70 free native plants and trees available at the festival, while supplies last. The giveaway is made possible by a grant received from the Native Plant Society.
“We’re excited to again host this fun, educational event and show people all the little ways that they can help make a difference in conserving and preserving our environment,” said City of Sarasota Sustainability Manager Stevie Freeman-Montes. “We hope everyone can take a timeout during their lunch break, stop by for some free stuff and hopefully learn something new about protecting our planet and our community.”
