It is easy being green, and here is how to do it: Sci-Port is hosting an afternoon on sustainability, noon-4 p.m., July 24. It will be an opportunity where experts in many fields share ideas, information and products to help you learn about what "being green" is and then show you how to be green.
The goal is to provide the best outcomes for the human environment and the natural environment, both now and into the future. Come listen to and interact with many local experts and community partners in areas such as Alternative Energy Sources, Rain Barrels, Solar Panels, Recycling Resources, Nutritional Education, Green Jobs and Green Builders.
