Home Energy Solutions Training Energizes Superior

Superior residents are invited this summer to participate in a workshop dedicated to residential energy efficiency and renewable energy. The workshop, sponsored by the Town of Superior and The Rock Creek HOA, is a collaboration of the Sierra Club and The Center for ReSource Conservation.

The workshop is designed to educate and inform residents about the various tax incentives, rebates and renewable energy options that are available to them as residents of Boulder County and Colorado. Everyone will learn simple, inexpensive tips to begin saving energy in their homes, right away.

While parents learn about the many ways to conserve energy, their children will be having fun learning about it, too. Robin Bunnell and Julie Fields will lead the children through activities that include coloring, story-telling and smoothies that are blended by electricity generated from solar power.

The two remaining workshops will be held on the following dates:

August, 3rd Sunday of the month: 08.16.09
September, 4th Sunday of the month: 09.27.09

All workshops will be held from 4:00 – 5:30 PM at Superior Town Hall.

They are open to the public and free of charge.

The workshops are very family friendly, and everyone is welcome to attend.
