Meet Your Greens with Chester Fair Zero Waste Organizer Kim Price
The Brushmill by the Waterfall
129 West Main St, Chester, CT
Join The Rockfall Foundation at The Brushmill by the Waterfall in Chester, CT, as we welcome Kim Price, the driving force behind the Chester Fair’s Zero Waste initiative. Kim has both forestry and wood science degrees. Semi-retired, he’s worked for the same company for 47 years in paper sales, focusing the last 20 years on eco-friendly packaging. By incorporating post-consumer waste, properly harvested wood fiber and production with certified energy alternatives, Kim was able to help companies like Estée Lauder, NBCU and Origin Cosmetics meet their corporate sustainability goals.
At this Meet Your Greens event, Kim will share insights into the Chester Fair’s ambitious goals and community-driven efforts to reduce waste drastically. Whether you’re passionate about sustainability or just curious about how a local fair can achieve such impressive environmental goals, this discussion promises to be informative.
Guests can enjoy a burger, including “Super Green Veggie Burger, from Brushmill’s special Thursday night burger menu, paired with fries and a choice of house wine, draft beer, or soft drink—all for $22. If you prefer, you’re welcome to order from the regular menu as well.
