"Green Building" Expo Focuses on Construction
Methods That Makes Economic and Environmental Sense
Can a building take the environment into account and offer a healthy, comfortable
and beautiful structure for its occupants? The answer is yes for the organizers of the "Building for the Future: Green Building Expo" from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday, June 7 at the Environmental Technology Center on the Sonoma State University campus.
Congresswomen Lynn Woolsey, a proponent of sustainable energy legislation at the federal level, is the guest speaker at the event which offers participants a chance to see how green building design and materials, renewable energy and energy efficiency can lead to a sustainable future.
The Expo offers product exhibits, seminars, and hands-on demonstrations in topics ranging from alternative building materials such as straw bale construction and certified sustainable lumber, and earthen plasters to larger scale issues like on local government green building initiatives and managing a green construction project.
Admission is $10 with online pre-registration before June 1, which can be purchased by visiting
