Weekly

  • Veggie Lunch
    • Held at the ECM every Thursday 11:00 - 1:00. The food goes fast, so get there early! Promotes community and environmental awareness. You'll probably hear about an awesome event and meet your best friend.
  • Environs meetings
    • Held every Wednesday night at 5:30pm. Get updated and get involved in what we're planning.
  • Farmer's Market
    • Buying local and organic food cuts down on "food miles," the distance food has to travel to get to your plate, reduces energy and resources used, cuts down on ecologically-sensitive pesticides, stimulates the local economy, and is a fun way to reconnect you with the food you eat.
      • Saturdays 7:00am – 11: 00am
        Between 8th and 9th on New Hampshire
      • Tuesdays/Thursdays 4:00pm – 6:00pm
        Between 10th and 11th on Vermont

Monthly

  • Critical Mass

Annually

  • Recycalusa
    • Yearly recycling effort to help alleviate waste at the Wakarusa Music Festival. Environs always has a big number of volunteers (and it's not just for the free tickets).
  • Earth Day

  • Energy Fair
