Green Camelot

[eunicerkl]

In 2014, eight Camelot "addresses" (i.e. singles and families) got together and learned (among other things):

-how to feel warmer in winter without turning the heat up

-how to get the rebates from local utilities

-how to save money on electricity and have your clothes last longer

-where to get locally grown lettuce, bread, meat...

-where the local walking/bike paths and bus routes are

We also got to see neighbor' electric car, rain barrel, solar tube, recycled carpet, window quilt, etc.  We enjoyed together a picnic of local foods, a plant give away, and thermal images of our homes. 

We'd like to start a new Green Camelot group with a new group of neighbors in late October.  We'll meet 70 minutes once a month for 7 months.  Those who are willing can also host the group in their homes.  Once we have 8 new "addresses", we'll choose the meeting dates and times that suits everyone.  Contact Eunice Lehmacher 654-4712 or euni...@gmail.com if you have questions or want to join.   Here's what participants of the 1st Green Camelot group said they liked it:
