Green Means Go

Recycling, composting and relying on solar energy are just a few ways to make the earth a healthier place. But where to begin? And if you've already started, where do you go from here? The EarthWorks Expo has plenty of ideas. “We want everyone — no matter if they already have solar panels on the roof or they're just thinking about recycling for the first time — to come away with different ways that they can make the earth a healthier place,” says expo director Michael Lindemann. “We focus on practical skills that people can take away and use immediately.”
