GREEN BUILDING EXPO

For two days, our group hosted a table at the Ninth Annual Green Building Expo. We shared displays of our group’s projects, gave out R&S newsletters, and shared information about starting new groups with nearly 4,000 people in attendance at this expo that was all about sustainable living. Scouts and other young people in attendance picked up eco treasure hunt questionnaires from us and gathered information from exhibitor tables to return to us in exchange for a patch and a free pass to the Phoenix Zoo. Everyone’s favorite part was demonstrating the solar cookers, both the ones we made in April and a SPORT model solar oven from the Solar Oven Society. We served fresh veggies as well as cookies, and some of our children enjoyed delivering cookies to exhibitors at far ends of the expo. A fun time was had by all and new friends were made!
