Advisory Board reports 48 conversations at farmers market, recycling top concern
Summary
Board members reported 48 conversations during recent farmers market outreach, with recycling questions most common; members discussed materials inventory, rain-barrel interest and possible themes for future market presence.
At its July 6 meeting the Oshkosh City Sustainability Advisory Board reviewed results from recent farmers market outreach, reporting 48 conversations and strong public interest in recycling and rain-barrel information.
Committee member (voice 7) said volunteers tallied 48 conversations and described a mix of questions — recycling topped the list. Members discussed whether they have sufficient printed materials and brainstormed themes or activities for future markets, including winter planning to prepare outreach kits.
Members also noted rain-barrel demonstrations (Vic brought a rain barrel) drew attention but that many questions were varied; Emma and others pointed attendees to online resources such as the city's OpenGov portal and public-works pages for stormwater-credit applications.
What happens next: The board will continue to staff market tables where possible, replenish outreach materials as needed, and consider themed topics to encourage deeper public engagement in sustainability programs.
