DESCRIPTION:Greener Living Day is a free\, community-centered sustainability event hosted by The YDC\, designed to inspire environmentally conscious living through education\, hands-on experiences\, and local connection. This free event brings together families\, community members\, and local organizations for a day focused on learning\, growing\, and working toward a greener future. \nThroughout the day\, attendees can explore interactive planting and horticulture stations\, learn practical sustainability tips from guest speakers\, and connect with local businesses and organizations committed to environmental stewardship. Participants will have the opportunity to plant something of their own\, either to take home or to contribute to The YDC’s growing community garden\, a youth-led initiative that will continue beyond the event. \nGreener Living Day also features live music\, art\, and ongoing activities that make sustainability accessible\, engaging\, and fun for all ages. With presentations on plant care\, greener living practices\, and the value of sustainability in everyday life\, the event offers meaningful takeaways while celebrating community collaboration. \nAt its heart\, Greener Living Day is about bringing people together\, strengthening local partnerships\, and empowering youth and families to play an active role in caring for the world around them. We invite the community to join us for a day of learning\, connection\, and shared responsibility as we grow something lasting together. \nLIVE PERFORMANCE BY: The 5th Mode Collective \nConfirmed Community Partners:\nMoon Base Farm\nMichael Recycle\nHillary Sortor\nThe Nature Journaling Club\nWinReady\nJordan Herring\, The Native Plant Festival\nBee City USA\nNorthern Shenandoah Valley Extension Master Gardener Association\nWSPCA\nJulia Carter and Carie Holbrook\, Public Services\nSustainability Matters\nPublisher Holistic Living Now\nThe Station Mobile Cafe\nApple Hill Farm URL:https://friendsofoldtown.org/event/greener-living-day-at-the-ydc/ LOCATION:Youth Development Center\, 302 S Loudoun Street\, Winchester\, V\, 22601\, United States ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://friendsofoldtown.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/YDC-Greener-Living-Day-Flyer-8.5x11-1.png ORGANIZER;CN="Youth Development Center":MAILTO:executivedirector@myydc.org END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20260425T140000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20260425T160000 DTSTAMP:20260416T162727 CREATED:20260323T134022Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260323T134022Z UID:10000261-1777125600-1777132800@friendsofoldtown.org SUMMARY:Author Event: Will Hackman - Radically Reframing Climate Change: A Guide to Saving Ourselves DESCRIPTION:Author Will Hackman identifies three main obstacles to solving climate change: polarization\, paralysis\, and stale\, ineffective messaging.
