The fair, hosted by the Cleveland Heights Green Team, in partnership with Heights Libraries Coventry branch, and FutureHeights, will provide residents and businesses with information and resources that promote and encourage greener, healthier choices and behaviors.
Green Team Co-founder Natalie Elwell said of the festival, "We believe that each one of us can make better or different choices that can help support the environment while also increasing personal well-being. Our mission is to work with the community to reduce and better manage our impact on the environment through advocacy, education, and stewardship. We are committed to bringing issues related to a more sustainable future into the spotlight."

Among the participants are: Refill Goodness, Rust Belt Riders, Cuyahoga Recycles, City Fresh, Northeast Ohio Regional Sewer District, Cleveland Pollinator and Native Plant, and Heights Tree People.
