Thinking about switching to a heat pump? Looking to install an EV charger? Meet local, vetted, sustainably-minded home-improvement professionals, and get your questions answered all under one roof!
The Sustainable Home Expo will take place at the Princeton High School Gym on Saturday, March 8, from 11 AM- 3 PM. Stop in anytime to speak directly with sustainable contractors, solar installers, and landscapers to compare prices, and explore services. We will also be encouraging the vendors to offer specials to attendees.
Along with the expo floor, there will be educational sessions where residents can learn more about sustainable home topics including Planting for Pollinators, Energy Efficiency, Stormwater Management, Accessory Dwelling Units, and more! This free event will allow homeowners and renters to learn about sustainable upgrades they can make to their homes to save energy and resources.
Bring the whole family! We will have a supervised kids activity room with sustainable crafts, coloring, and games!
Help keep clothes out of the trash! Bring your used clothing for re-wear, reuse, and recycling. Helpsy will have bins available for you to drop off your used clothing. Here is a list of what Helpsy accepts!
Come hungry! We will have Ficus serving sandwiches, salads, and bubble tea. Be sure to bring your own reusable bottle for water and mug for coffee!
Please enter through the Performing Arts Center entrance on Walnut Lane. Biking is encouraged and there are racks available at this entrance to park them.
