Learn all that you can—and put
what you
learn
to use
Take advantage of what The Sustainability Institute offers
to learn how to live green.
Tour the GreenHouse. It's a demonstration
model for how to create a healthy, efficient, durable and environmentally-friendly
home. We encourage you to see and touch
products that we have used, become familiar with the principles
we have incorporated in our sustainable design, and utilize
our resources including research and supplier information.
Attend
our workshops. They are the best opportunity to get
hands-on training in how to make your home more sustainable.
Learn techniques to save energy and water, what renovation materials
are safe to use and that won't hurt the environment, and how
to prioritize needed changes in your home. Our three main workshops
are
- Energy Conservation
- Sustainable Home Renovation
- Improving Indoor
Air Quality
In addition, we offer gardening workshops on such topics
as
- Sustainable Landscaping and Organic Gardening
- Creating Raised Beds
- Composting and Making Rainbarrels
