Want to make your home more environmentally responsible?
Come to a Teach-In on October 14th from 6:30 to 8:30 pm at One Jackson Square (122 Greenwich Avenue, NYC) about sustainable strategies you can implement in your home.
Our goal is to have New York City be a model in sustainability as well as making our homes healthier, more energy efficient, water-wise and environmentally responsible.

Solar Hot Water: Make your own heat and hot water.
Solar Photovoltaic: Make your own electrical energy.
Green Roof: Build a meadow on your home.
We will discuss costs and benefits of each of these strategies including pricing, incentives, tax credits, rebates and return-on-investment as well as feasibility for different types of homes.
