Go Green Ojai! Lecture Series
I had a meeting at the Ojai Valley Museum offices today, and had a bit of time after to walk through the Go Green Ojai exhibit which runs through February 14th. It is an extremely impressive community collaboration, with fantastic displays, real materials crafted for the exhibit, great documentation and a lot of love for the sustainability movement and the OVGC's efforts valley-wide. Please do make the time to go see it while its up. Following is information on a series of talks that will act as an educational companion to the exhibit.
"GO GREEN, OJAI!” LECTURE SERIES AT OJAI VALLEY MUSEUM
Talks Scheduled from January 24 through February 11
(Ojai, Calif. ~ January 18, 2009) Never tiring in its drive to educate, inform, and even entertain, the Ojai Valley Green Coalition is now presenting, in collaboration with the Ojai Valley Museum, the “Go Green, Ojai!” lecture series.
The series of eight talks will investigate the concept of going green and the newest tests, tools, and tips on how to do it. It is a companion to the well-received “Go Green Ojai” exhibit running until February 14 at the museum, located at 130 W. Ojai Avenue.
Local representatives of the green building industry, including architects, builders, and designers, will answer big questions like, “What is green building and why does it matter?” and “How do I decide what green products and designs will work for me?” The lectures will offer information focused on different aspects of green design, from the practical underpinnings to the eye-catching finishing touches that keep the environment in mind.
All lectures are $5 suggested donation. For more detailed information, go to ojaivalleygreencoalition.org or call (805) 669-8445, or visit ojaivalleymuseum.org or call (805) 640-1390.
