Sustainable Sons of the Pioneers

like a record baby

It’s Summer. The fair’s in town.  It’s going green and Minnesota is leading the charge with The Eco Experience Exhibit.  Why make a big to-do about a seemingly small feat?  Because in one turn-o-the-wheel, nearly 500,000 people will be exposed to a varied and diverse weekend event calendar, addressing everything from alternative energies, personal diet, childrens entertainment, eco-building and greening every aspect of your home.  This years theme revolving around Sustainable Jobs will focus on employment and training in green economy.  A staple of the Minnesota State Fair since 2006, this type of exhibit is catching on in other major cities such as North Carolina, Iowa and New Jersey.  With over 50,000 Green Jobs in Minnesota alone, the time is right to acknowledge the mid-wests’ potential to re-enter the national economy by being pioneers of the prairie once again.

(ironic note: I am always giving grief to Sustainys’ Eric Raymond for being from Minnesota but consistently find great stories from his home state!)
