Old Town Hall / Cinema Salem / The Gathering
The Salem
Chamber of Commerce, Salem Main Streets and the City of Salem
Renewable Energy Task Force will host the Living Green &
Renewable Energy Fair on June 14, 2008. The fair will take
place in and around Old Town Hall at Derby Square in downtown
Salem.
The organizers
would like to invite businesses and organizations that promote
green / renewable products and services to participate in
the fair. The goal is to promote products, services and information
that encourage healthier, more sustainable consumption and
lifestyles for businesses and families. There is limited space
for exhibitors at this event. The costs to exhibit are: $100
for Salem Chamber Members, $150 for Non-Members, $50 for Salem
Chamber Non-Profit Organizations and $75 for Non-Member Non-Profit
Organizations. The organizers will review all applications.
To download an application visit: www.salemsafe.org.

In recognition
of the fair, the City of Salem will celebrate June 14th as
Clean Energy Day, and all Salem citizens are encouraged to
sign up for Clean Energy Choice, a Massachusetts Technology
Collaborative program (MTC). Clean Energy Choice allows National
Grid customers to offset the production of electricity generated
from fossil fuels, and replace it with clean, renewable energy.
It will cost the average customer approximately 14 dollars
extra a month, but for every dollar paid, up to 2/3 will be
matched by MTC and invested right back into clean energy programs
in Salem. For more information visit: www.cleanenergychoice.org.
The Living
Green & Renewable Energy Fair will feature: 1) Numerous
exhibits from local, regional and national companies, 2) A
series of green talks by environmental leaders and organizations,
and 3) A screening of "Kilowatt Ours" at Cinema
Salem. The Living Green & Renewable Energy Fair will be
