A series of Going Green presentations have been arranged in cooperation with the Lower Potomac Tributary Team in Charles and St. Mary’s Counties and will be held at the Meeting Room of the Charlotte Hall Branch Library, 37600 New Market Road, Charlotte Hall, MD.
Presentations start at 6:30pm and last approximately 2 hours. The Green Building Institute is a non-profit 501(c) 3 organization. A fee will be charged for each class to cover the cost of providing instructors and class materials. Participants who complete all 6 classes will be recognized by the Tributary Team and receive a “Green tool kit” courtesy of Mirant Power and local vendors of green products.
