Green Marketplace

Thursday, November 12th, 2009

Thagreen-marketnks to everyone who attended the workshop on forming a  Green Marketplace.  A group of about ten people met to discuss opening a Community Center, that would be a clearinghouse for sustainable living ideas and resources, and also serve as a retail outlet for the most local and sustainable products for everyday living…. and a really cool place to hang out.  Please join us as we plan to make this dream a reality. We will meet on December 1, 2009, at 5:30 at Horizon Books in the basement to discuss our next steps.
