Rochester Green Living
Rochester Green Living is a 501c3 non profit entity and a project of the Center for Sustainable Living. Our goal is to act as a forum for the public to add to, speak & learn about all things sustainable and how it can be done through community cooperation. Our teachings through hands-on green building workshops will help lower the environmental impact of the homes and lives of those living in the greater Rochester area. To reach our goals we will work with local universities, officials and other community-based organizations to provide workshops in sustainability, create & promote local green events,  green collar jobs, a free local resource in sustainable information and create connections to other green businesses/groups throughout New York. We hope we will be the first stop on your journey to a deeper understanding of sustainability.
 

August natural building workshop

E-mail Print PDF

Hello all,

Our last meetup at the Skylodge was amazing! If you did not make it out for the tour I highly recommend staying a few nights and they are Tom & Julie are amazing people and the eco friendly renovations they have put into the circa 1927 home are as great as the views. As for July, it is going to be an off month for myself and Lindsay but will pick back up in August with 2 workshops. The first being on August 1st, at my home, with an introduction to Cordwood Construction (for more information http://rochestergreen... ). Discussion and some hands-on building could be done depending on how far along I am with our cordwood sauna foundation and frame, but I will keep everyone updated throughout July. This is a precursor to my 2 day cordwood sauna workshop on Aug 22-23 (now HALF price!). A donation of $10 per person would be appreciated. Please feel free to email me with any questions. Hope to meet some of our newbies and see our frequent friends!!!!


Cheers,
