I read about some pretty cool green happenings this week in New Hampshire and Vermont…check ‘em out!
New Hampshire
The Green Alliance and Haley Farm Art Gallery in Kittery, Maine, is hosting its first Green Expo, called “Green Business in the Community.” It is happening tomorrow, Saturday, June 13, from 11 am to 3 pm at Haley Farm Art Gallery. I think I might go down and check it out myself! It is a free event and it will offer a glimpse of the latest green technologies, from biofuels to solar energy to green clothing businesses (yes!). There will also be lots of great environmental art on display. You can read more about the event on Seacoast Online.
Vermont
We wrote a blog post awhile ago about Project Laundry List, a NH-based organization that advocates for line-drying to save energy costs and extend the life of clothes. I was pretty excited to read that the Vermont State Legislature passed H.446 last week, which, according to the article in Seven Days, prohibits anyone from “banning solar collectors, clotheslines or other energy devices based on renewable resources.”
Apparently, local municipalities could outlaw line-drying before this bill passed, so congratulations to Vermont: you can now line dry your laundry without worry!
Alright, Vermont!
