Eastside's Sustainable September keeps green events going strong.
Sustainable September 2008 includes something for everyone
by Linda Hillesheim
Leaves may start changing from green to red, but green is at its peak on the Eastside during the annual Sustainable September events. There's something for everyone, from the kick-off Eastside Green Keepers business breakfast to free public classes on Sustainable Saturdays, Kirkland's Green Festival to the Green Collar Jobs and Education Symposium, right down to the end-of-the month's Green Home Tour. After attending these events, you'll have plenty to keep you going all the way to next spring. Enjoy!
