Greetings from the Irvington Green Initiative! We had an overwhelming response to the quick poll about rain barrels! Stay tuned for details on that workshop, to be released very soon. (Space is limited, so be ready to sign up if you're interested.)

Below you will find some enviro-tidbits on the following:

• Green Power option through IPL
• Living Lean and Green workshop, starting Wed. at Irvington Public Library
• Green Way Supply workshop on countertops and tiles, Thursday
• News from Edibles

It's easy to sign up for "green power" through IPL's website. This energy comes from renewable sources, reducing our state's coal dependency. For only few dollars more each month, you will have the peace of mind of substantially reducing your carbon footprint. Go to http://www.iplpower.com/ipl/index?page=IPLGeneral&Menu=01050300&DocID=0205016c986701096a4e9803007c1f for more information.

You can learn even more energy-saving possibilities at the five-part Living Lean and Green Workshop, starting Wednesday at the Irvington Public Library. There's still time to register! You will come away with tons of cost-effective ways to lower energy bills, reduce energy consumption and improve family health. Plus you'll get a free energy-saving give-away. Register at: www.cacefindiana.org .
