Dylan Klepetar doesnât expect to change the world, but the $1,500 micro-grant he received could make a world of difference.
His Echo Farm, overlooking the western shore of Lake Champlain, will use the money to buy equipment to deliver biodiesel to local farms.
Heâs one of 21 recipients who obtained funding, totaling over $29,000, which the Adirondack Council awarded to help farmers and small businesses reduce their environmental impact and build a climate-friendly local economy in upstate New Yorkâs 6 million-acre Adirondack Park.
âIn general, farmers are very ingenious with the solutions they come up with,â Klepetar said. âTheyâre problem solvers by nature. A $1,500 grant in the hands of a farmer can go a long way.â
