Home Show

This coming weekend at the Douglas County Fairgrounds is the annual Home and Garden Show put on by our local Home Builder’s Association. There you will find many new things to improve your home and surroundings. What you may not know is that there will also be a lot of opportunities available to see new products and practices on display showing you how to save energy and money. Green building materials, energy efficient fixtures, landscaping with native plants, and water conservation just to name a few.

Even I will be on hand at the show manning a booth promoting back yard composting. In addition to sharing composting opportunities, we will have the newly created and updated recycling poster and brochure available for everyone to pick up. You are invited to stop by and pick up yours and chat with me about any recycling topic you like and get answers to all your questions. If you mention this article, I will have a special gift just for you, the loyal readers of the North County News.

Composting and recycling are just two ways we can save money in the home while saving energy and natural resources. Each week you can come back here to get information and tips on these and many other topics of concern related to waste reduction.
