You want to be green, but you have questions.What can I do to save money on my electric bill? How can I green my home on a tight budget? What can I do to support positive change in my own community?
In Seattle, you’ll find answers…Join Sustainable Communities All Over Puget Sound (SCALLOPS) for interactive sessions all weekend on topics ranging from emergency preparedness to energy conservation efforts. This is a great opportunity to connect with your community on issues that affect you most. And how can you support your local economy with your diet? Alice Waters and Bryant Terry, two fantastic chefs, will highlight healthy cooking using local, seasonal and sustainable ingredients.
Young people will also have an opportunity to connect with the causes they are passionate about. Find out What Youth Can Do at Saturday evening’s panel discussion or Sunday morning at Keeping it Real, Keeping it Green, both facilitated by young local leaders. Plus, don’t miss Pecha Kucha, a place for designers to meet, network and show their work in public. Green Festival’s edition will feature green building.
