Vermont Solutions Festival!

(Written by Syd)

Exciting news! Race to Replace has just been invited to host the first ever Vermont Solutions Festival Youth Summit on August 28th! The Solutions fest is a 2 day celebration at Stratton Mountain, aiming to showcase the connections between sustainability and sport. There will be great food (local, of course), music from the Del McCoury Band, and speeches from Bill McKibben and former NHL goalie Mike Richter. There will also be a bike race that involves riding from farm-stand to farm-stand. (Seriously, could this get any better?)

The Youth Summit will be a 90 minute workshop for high school students. We’ll be talking to kids about Vermont’s clean energy potential and the role that youth activism can play in reaching that potential. It should be a blast. A sign-up page will be up on the website soon, so stay tuned!

Even if you’re too old for the summit, don’t miss the Solutions Fest. It’s going to be a great time and we are super-duper stoked to be a part of it.
