Step It Up

An event hosted by the Carrboro Greenspace (in exile). Starting at 2 p.m. at the Carrboro Town Commons during the Really Really Free Market everyone including candidates for office are invited to share with one another what we are already doing and what we plan on doing to reduce Greenhouse gas emmissions to levels that are sustainable for all inhabitants of our planet. Having this event during a Really Really Free Market serves to highlight one of the many grassroots people-driven projects that Carrboro has that are contributing to the reduction of CO2 emmisions. The Really Really Free market is a living example for how to reduce the excesses of consumerism while at the same time creating a space for community. Carrboro has a few grassroots people-driven projects such as the Really Really free market, The Carrboro Greenspace, The Recyclery and the CCGC community garden that demonstrate the power that people can have independent of initiatives normally expected from official leaders. In Carrboro we are fortunate to have elected leaders that can recognize the value of these projects and support them in whichever way they can. carrborogreenspace.org
