Can green living save the planet? Can it save money or improve the landscape?
The Purtee Team and RE/MAX think you can make a difference with even small changes around your home. For that reason, we have a checklist of things you, as a homeowner, can do to bring your home up to a greener standard. The list contains practical, easy fixes to make your home more eco-friendly for your family or potential buyers! GREEN HOME CHECK LIST
This Saturday, Oct. 24 from 9am to 3pm, experts from Pinellas County Extension/ University of Florida, Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences (UF/IFAS) will join other professionals at the Science Center of Pinellas to explain how even small changes add up to make a big difference.
Representing the Extension and UF/IFAS are:
Mary Campbell, Extension director, “Florida’s Future: Climate Change and Coastal Communities,” 10 a.m.
James Stevenson, “Home Energy Savings and Financial Incentives,” 10:30 a.m.
Vestina F. Clayton, “It’s Not Just About the Environment,” 11 a.m.
Wilma Holley, “Rain Harvesting,” 11:30 a.m.
In addition to the educational sessions, local middle school students will be displaying sustainability projects on personal carbon footprint reduction, carbon sequestration, water conservation, composting and energy conservation.
Pinellas County is the first municipality in Florida to earn the Green Government designation from the Florida Green Building Coalition, an honor earned in 2007. The county continues to emphasize the importance of sustainability, in both practice and community outreach.
Great Job, Pinellas County!
