We Heart Indy
V-day is on the horizon, friends. But rather than a round-up of romantic farm-to-table restaurants or an eco-friendly gift guide, we’d rather talk about all the reasons why we love Indy as a green city on the rise.
Reason #1: Even in a city known for its pork tenderloin sandwich consumption, anyone can become a lean green machine.
Learn to lower your carbon footprint, reduce energy bills, and reduce your impact on the planet at an upcoming Living Lean & Green workshop. Upcoming five-week workshops begin Feb. 18 at St. Thomas Aquinas Church (4600 N. Illinois St.) and March 10 at Christian Theological Seminary (1000 W. 42nd St.).
Reason #2: The housing market may have gone bust, but green building in Indy is booming.
LEED, follow, or get out of the way at the Indiana Building Green symposium, taking place March 10-11 at the Indianapolis Museum of Art. Early bird registration ends Feb. 28.
Reason #3: People are movin’ downtown and participation in recycling is movin’ on up.
More people living and working downtown simultaneously means less CO2 generated during commutes. Public recycling bins in Broad Ripple, on Mass Ave, and in the Mile Square mean more opportunities to do your part. Special electronics recycling events like those taking place this month at Simon Malls means more convenient ways to responsibly dispose of TVs, VCRs, computers, and more.
Speaking of convenient ways to recycled your electronics, Rush Hour Recycling, our award-winning recycling program gets back into gear starting March 5. Stay tuned for details.
Piece out,
