Sustainable PG presents

The Green Spot,

a brand-new resource and demonstration center

with something for everyone

Pine Ave., between Forest and Grand - all weekend

Come learn how you can enjoy a more sustainable and earth-friendly lifestyle while saving energy, water, and money! Sustainable PG, a local grassroots stewardship group, will offer simple and easy solutions.

We are proud to sponsor this year's Carbon Neutral Campaign during Good Old Days. Planting trees is one part of treading lightly on the planet. But living sustainably involves many aspects of our daily routines. What we eat, how we get around, which cleaning products we flush down the drain all affect the fragile web of nature.

First view & cheer our group in the Parade. Then head to the Green Spot! We'll be there throughout the weekend to share what we've learned and built and planted -- and to learn from you.
