- Oct. 2–Andy Courts, energy efficiency expert and creator of North Carolina Energy Partners. This week, Andy is going to talk about hows and how-tos, and bring examples.

It may be easier than you think and can add value to your home as well.
- Oct 9th–Eric Henry, President of TS Designs in Burlington will talk about the hidden costs of buying cheap. As a producer of sustainable t-shirts, his company provides jobs for numerous local employees and purchases cotton from NC farmers, whenever possible.

Come find out.

- Oct. 23–Sarah Denman will discuss how she and her husband Jeremy decided to really do something about lowering their carbon footprint. Hear what they did, how they live more simply and see if some of their changes might be ones you are ready for.
