Charge Up Your Family’s GREEN POWER

  • What’s more efficient than changing your light bulbs to compact fluorescents for only $.99 each?
  • What’s cooler than sampling snacks cooked by the sun?
  • What’s more resourceful than discovering new recycling opportunities?

Discover ALL this and MORE in one fun and fascinating fall festival weekend!

Energy conservation and recycling are practices that make good sense, especially as fuel and utility costs continue to rise and we learn more about global climate change. EarthWays Center’s 5th annual celebration of ways to use natural resources wisely brings together useful information and practical demonstrations all geared to help you save money, protect the environment, and make your home healthier and more comfortable.

Kids can make a lantern from recycled materials on Saturday at noon or 2 p.m. or build a racing car to compete in the 2006 Solar Speedster Derby on Sunday at noon or 2 p.m.

Energy-smart shoppers can browse novel and beautiful recycled-content wares in the Garden Gate Shop’s Green Bazaar, and stock up on Energy Star-qualified compact fluorescent light bulbs at the special festival price of ninety-nine cents per bulb.

Everyone can talk to experts about energy production, windows, insulation, solar and wind power, green homebuilding, native plants, fuel-efficient vehicles and hardwood flooring sustainably produced right here in Missouri. Local businesses will display products and equipment that offer cost-effective ways to make your family’s lifestyle greener. Guest speakers will share their know-how on topics including computer recycling, composting and more at 11 a.m., 1 and 3 p.m. both days,

Mark your family calendar for Saturday and Sunday, September 16 and 17, for an energizing and empowering visit to the Garden’s EarthWays Center. Festival hours are 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. each day. And it’s all free, to save your family even more GREEN!
