I can’t help getting in another plug for the VNRC’s 50th Anniversary Celebration this Saturday, September 22, at Shelburne Farms.  

These are the good people who brought out the environmental activist in my pot-luck and sensible-shoes self.  I owe them; we all owe them.  For doggedly fighting the good fight to protect our precious natural resources and local economies, all Vermonters owe them.

Buy a ticket and feel good about being a contributor. Then, enjoy local food, beverages and music in the beauty of Shelburne Farms.  Come to hear the words of Van Jones, Maude Barlow, Bill McKibben and others.  Come to immerse yourself in the company of like-minded folks who see a positive, prosperous future for Vermont; one that springs from its respect for the natural environment and sustainable communities rather than the path of short returns.
