REMINDER: FLOW Environmental Commissions Hold Green Fair March 7

The Environmental Commissions of Franklin Lakes, Oakland and Wyckoff will host their first annual FLOW Green Fair on Saturday, March 7, in the Ramapo High School Cafeteria from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.

The FLOW Green Fair, which is free, will have exhibitors, all of whom have activities to demonstrate the benefits of sustainability, including the wonders of our local environment, conversion from electricity to gas to save power, and how to stop algae forming in your ponds using a floating wetland instead of expensive chemicals.

Other exhibitors will show attendees how bees help the environment, how to enrich your garden for free and the value of rain water gardens.

Those in attendance will also have a chance to plant vegetables, watch live tap dancers and relax with Meditation and Reflexology demonstrated by the Wyckoff YMCA. There will also be lots of healthy food ideas from Ramsey Farm Market, Whole Foods, Nicholas Markets Foodtown, Ben and Jerry’s, Super Juice Nation and Kara’s Cakes.

Other local organizations who will be featured at the fair include Ramapo College, Oakland Garden Club, Mahwah Environmental Volunteer Organization and the RBARI animal shelter.
