How can you make a difference for Minnesota’s environment?

There are so many ways. The Eco Experience brings together organizations, ideas, and hands-on activities to show what you can do at home to help the environment. The annual event is open during the 12 days of the Minnesota State Fair. The 2011 Minnesota State Fair is over, but we'll be open again next year!
