The Ellis South End Neighborhood Association’s Green Committee Presents
Home Sustainability 101: How to Live Greener and Healthier

On Monday, May 10, the Ellis South End Neighborhood Association will present Home Sustainability 101: How to Live Greener and Healthier, at the Lyric Stage, located at 140 Clarendon Street (YWCA building). This free program will reveal simple ways to make our homes more livable through carbon footprint reduction, energy conservation, and smart renovations or improvements that pay for themselves in just a few years. Intended for condominium and home owners, renters, building managers, real estate agents and prospective buyers––the symposium is for everyone who wishes to live healthier and greener and all are welcome to attend.

The symposium will feature four speakers: Jacob Knowles, an energy conservation specialist from The Green Roundtable/NEXUS; Catriona Cooke of Conservation Services Group; Josh Wood, South End architect, who recently completed an award winning, sustainable renovation on Rutland Square; and Bertil Jean–Chronberg, two–time “green” renovator whose innovative renovations were featured in The Boston Globe home section in January 2010. The panelists will illustrate a series of creative and energy efficient solutions through slides, charts and informational handouts. From weather stripping and window insulation to new heating systems, the modest and the grand will be covered in this practical and informative neighborhood symposium.

The presentation will begin at 7PM and run for 90 minutes, with time allotted for audience questions and participation.
