Sustainable Princeton hosted the 2nd annual Sustainable Home Expo on Saturday, March 8th. This free community event brought together sustainable contractors, solar installers, landscapers, and community resources for residents to make their spaces more sustainable.
This year, the location expanded to be at the Princeton High School Gym allowing for over 35 vendors, 6 educational sessions, a kids activity room, a used clothing drop off, and more!
An estimated 300 people joined us to speak directly with local sustainable professionals and learn from expert speakers on a variety of topics.
The Expo Floor
The expo floor held 1 restaurant, 1 food waste collection service, 2 municipal commissions, 3 solar installers, 3 banks, 7 community resources, 9 yard & garden businesses, and 10 home improvement professionals.
Sustainable Princeton was also stationed on the expo floor showcasing items from our Lending Library.
Also on the expo floor was a Helpsy Clothing Drive where 1,119 lbs of used clothing were collected and saved from the landfill.
Educational Sessions
Six educational sessions were held in classrooms upstairs. The topics covered included Planting for Pollinators, Electrify Everything, Energy Efficiency, Keeping Stormwater at Bay, Solar Panel, and Sustainable Accessory Dwelling Units.
