energy- and conservation-related craft activities in the "kids' corner".

Eduardo Suarez of Co-op Power spoke about
the coop's new "member-to-member" solar hot water

Walt Congdon of Northfield shared his expertise
on residential wind power.

Phil Leger discussed "Recycling for the 21st Century"--
including the "next-generation" concepts of
"cradle-to-grave ownership" and "single-stream" recycling
and the older ideas of reducing and reusing!
