Virtual Berkshire Earth Expo
In collaboration with Berkshire Museum, the Berkshire Earth Expo will be holding the 5th annual event online this year
From November 1 through 14, 2020, Berkshire Museum will host a wide variety of exhibits and interactive programs on its website: climate and nature-related work and art of Berkshire students, poetry readings, workshops and webinars on climate solutions as well as the Cooler Communities Challenge Action platform. This platform and award program, sponsored by the Harold Grinspoon Charitable Foundation, will allow all visitors to the site to take action, no matter their age, background or pocketbook.
We will be having a very full 14 days of live and recorded events and hope to channel our inspiration, concern and care into action and connection. Learning, listening and acting together helps make our community stronger.
As mentioned before, we will be having an action platform. You can see the beginnings of it here. We hope that many people take actions on this platform reducing their carbon footprint or generally benefiting their own health and that of the earth.
Please follow us on Facebook for updates as we get closer to the date!
