Check out what our friends at Sustainable Southbury are organizing on October 25:

“You’ll see and learn first-hand how your neighbors are generating their own electricity, padding their pocketbooks with insulation, creating solutions for smaller footprints, and producing a healthier environment for their families and yours!

The tour will feature four homes. Two were built to be "Net Zero", that is, they produce all the power that they need. Each home shows a different approach to achieve "Net Zero". Both were built to enable the owners to live a greener lifestyle and feature sustainable features beyond energy conservation. One was built to be an age-in-place retirement home.”

Those intersted should tegister in advance for the tour:
