A Blueprint for Saving Green @ Home

On March 28th members of Chicago's Rogers Park community joined us at the United Church (1545 W. Morse Avenue) for our first workshop titled A Blueprint for Saving Green @ Home. They learned just what weatherization means and how it can help them save money while also saving the environment! Attendees were also invited to fill out a free, quick, and simple energy audit that could lead to significant reductions in energy costs for anyone.

If you weren't able to join us on the 28th or if you want a refresher on what our experts discussed, you can watch the videos from this first event embedded below or on our YouTube page. You can download the PowerPoint presentation here (PDF).

The main focus of this partnership is supporting and an exciting series of workshops taking place in Chicago's Rogers Park neighborhood explaining how to weatherize your home, which will help you save the environment and money! These workshops are being held every Monday at 6:30 at the Rogers Park's United Church (1545 W. Morse Avenue). We hope to see you there.
