Brick Township will continue the tradition of hosting its annual spring “Green Fair” this year on May 20, the eleventh year in a row the township has organized the event with the help of volunteers and local organizations and businesses.
The event is an environmental and sustainability showcase, which is free to attend, and features vendors, exhibitors and student groups representing environmental and social responsibility, locally-sourced products and zero waste. This year’s theme is
“Sustain Your Health.”
“Exhibitors and schools have been encouraged to make the connection between environmental health and personal health,” said Mayor Lisa Crate. “For instance, highlighting and demonstrating the importance of water quality, air quality and healthy soil.”
