Welcome to Earth Fair 2015
The 2015 Earth Fair Committee
Celebrating
Partners
Coulee Partners for Sustainability’s goal is
to educate the community about The
Natural Step principles and sustainable
practices that can be used each and every
day. The Earth Fair offers the opportunity
to bring the community together to make
sustainability a natural part of your home,
work and community. We are happy to
again partner with the La Crosse Area
Family YMCA and the La Crosse Public
Library to bring you an exciting and
worthwhile day learning how you can
help save the planet. We hope you enjoy
Earth Fair 2015!

At the Y, we strengthen
the community through
social responsibility
because we believe that a
community is stronger when people and
organizations work together to build a
healthier society. The Y is thrilled to partner
with Coulee Partners for Sustainability and
La Crosse Public Library to bring Earth Fair
to our community. The Earth Fair provides
a great opportunity for our neighbors to
teach each other how to live more sustainably, which impacts both the health of our
planet and the individuals who live here.
I hope you have time to enjoy and sample
many booths and activities at the Earth
Fair. I encourage you to take what you learn
here into your homes, work and our
community.
—Bill Soper, La Crosse Area Family YMCA
As an organization based on “recycling”
(after all, what is checking out books
based on??), the La Crosse Public Library is
dedicated to providing materials, services
and experiences that support the creation
of and access to knowledge, and the
building of a better-informed, sustainable,
and engaged community. The La Crosse
Public Library is delighted to be a
Celebrating Partner of Earth Fair 2015.
