PITTSFIELD After running the Pittsfield Farmers Market virtually for a year, Roots Rising will open the event s outdoor season by holding a live, in-person event on May 15.
SHEFFIELD â Isabella Cardinali Kemp is passionate about local food, composting and recycling. Anything that makes the Earth cleaner.
Now, the Mount Everett Regional High School senior is âsuper excitedâ to spread her passion in the larger community with a virtual series of six speakers to expand on problems and household solutions for water-quality declines, the importance of local food and âthe interconnectivity of soil.â
Kemp, 18, had this idea, and she and Cecelia Caldwell, 17, got cracking during the coronavirus pandemic to line up six influential speakers for the free âSustainable Speaker Series â Our Relationship to Land and Water: Conversations with Local and National Sustainability Leaders,â which begins at 5:30 p.m. Friday with a talk about sustainable systems on college campuses by Ezra Small, the campus sustainability manager at the University of Massachusetts-Amherst, and a Mount Everett alumnus.
