Enjoy hands-on demos (plus some materials to take home) to help make your home energy-efficient and warm this winter – and apply for recognition as an Eco-City Home while you’re at it!

Join us for a demonstration of tools you can check out from the Alexandria Library and easy-to-use materials that can reduce your heating bill while making your home energy efficient. Learn about the Eco-City Pledge and the free materials that come with it!

Discover a new City program, Eco-City Homes, which recognizes households - home owners, condo owners and renters - who've taken steps to be more sustainable and energy efficient. Staff from the Office of Climate Action will be available to answer questions and walk through the short application. Learn more about Eco-City Homes and the recognition program here!

Registration appreciated. Contact mzimmerman@alexlibraryva.org for more information.
