We just learned about this event but we’re planning to drop in.

Green Exhibits
This first-of-its-kind event at the Ziggurat will feature interactive displays and exhibits showcasing how to save energy, conserve natural resources; and reduce our impact on climate change, both on the job and at home. Plus, there will be food and fun!

Earth Day exhibits will be located in the Ziggurat atrium, parking circle, and along the River Walk from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.

In addition to the customary booths, there’ll be a couple of free forums.

Green Forums
The Department of General Services will host two educational forums focusing on the state of California’s green building program and green buying practices. These break-out sessions are free-of-charge, and will be held in the first-floor auditorium.

1:00 p.m. – 1:45 p.m. Building Green: Attaining LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) Certification for Public Buildings.

2:00 p.m. – 2:45 p.m. Buying Green: Environmentally Preferable Purchasing and Contracting Practices.

We think this region has enormous potention to become a “green beacon” for the rest of the nation. So its good to see some momentum from the cities around sustainability.
