Long Subaru Gone Green

Saturday, April 26, 2025

10am - 2pm

Back this spring! Focusing on our 'Subaru Loves the Earth' theme, we are hosting several new vendors along with some of our favorite local businesses.

We're excited to have SoulFully Vegan with us this year serving 100% plant-based burger, dogs, and fries. Come sample what they have!

No Long Subaru event would be complete with out the handmade local products from Emma's Acres Alpacas.

This year, we are proud to partner with the Arbor Day Foundation as part of our Subaru Loves the Earth initiative. We are providing and distributing mature, regionally appropriate trees to members of our community. Choose your preferred tree species to take home and plant, completely free of charge! Supplies are limited, so don't miss out. Reserve your tree today!

We're please to host several eco-friendly businesses like, On the Road Again who minimizes waste going into our landfills by upcycling durable materials into handcrafted goods. Their durable tote bags and home goods are fashionably upcycled in New England. And, Beach Happy Creations, a super mother & daughter duo creating unique & whimsical art through the repurpose of beach finds. Be ready to shop (don't forget Mother's Day is right around the corner)!

Sample some delicious bean-to-bar artisan chocolate from Wright Old School Chocolate and take home some exceptional treats. Hot or cold, Herbs Makes Scents will have your tastes covered with their selection of organic loose leaf tea.

Don't go until you've tried the handcrafted frozen treats from Like No Udder. 100% dairy-free!

What else can you expect? Mike Silvia will be performing 11:30am to 1:30pm so why not bring a chair and stay for the whole show! And join our Facebook event page to keep up with new announcements through the month.

And we haven't event told you about the pollinator plant promo, giveaways, and more!!!

In 2015, we established our internal Green Team and made the decision to go solar. With the installation of our 246 kilowatt (kW) solar energy system on the roofs of the main showroom and collision center we've virtually eliminated our need for fossil fuel based energy consumption. As of 2020, any additional energy produced but not used onsite is shared with our sister store Long Cadillac.

"We are always looking for ways to reduce our environmental footprint," said Scott Barry, Dealer Partner. "This is one major step forward. In focusing on renewable solar energy, we know that we are significantly reducing our impact on the earth, and that is definitely the right thing to do."

The Subaru Eco-Friendly Retailer Program is a voluntary environmental program designed for retailers who want to make a positive impact on their community and local environment.

Long Subaru focuses on five key areas in our facility:

Energy Efficiency
Water Conservation
Recycling
Waste Management
Community Involvement

Adding another notch to our green initiative belt, is our sponsorship of miles 10-8 on our very own I-395S.

Contributing to a cleaner environment and safer highways is important to us. Regular litter removal from roadways and surrounding areas will help keep debris and pollutants out of our waterways. Plus it's an environmentally-friendly program that saves taxpayer dollars. Better for us, better for our community, and better for our environment!
