Climate Cafe presents a Free workshop on green building



Have you ever thought of building a kitchen countertop with recycled paper? How about putting clay on your wall instead of paint? What, exactly, is ecotimber?

Dan Chalmers of GreenWorks Building Supply Inc. will be our guest on October 21st for our Green Building Climate Café. He will be sharing his knowledge and experience in a number of environmentally friendly building supplies and practices that can be used both for starting a new home and renovating an existing one. If you're thinking of taking the plunge into the world of green building, or are simply curious about this newly emerging industry, join us and discover what sustainable building is all about.

Come and join us at:
Date: Tuesday, October 21st, 6:45 to grab some java and a snack, 7pm kickoff

This event is FREE.

The Climate Cafés are a new initiative aimed at empowering people to make the small but important differences in their lifestyle that can have dramatic effects on the long-term health of our planet.

Modeled on the enormously popular philosopher’s café format, we intend to bring together small groups in the community for peer-to-peer problem solving to significantly reduce our environmental footprint. Incorporated with these community meetings is an online blog website, which will allow all climate café participants to freely exchange issues and ideas at any time.
