Going Green: I-Renew's Energy & Sustainability Expo



Even with fall and turning leaves just around the corner, Iowa's future is looking green.

 

Norway, Iowa (September 3, 2009) - - The Iowa Renewable Energy Association (I-Renew) invites you to learn more about what renewable energy can mean to you and your future by attending the 2009 Renewable Energy and Sustainability Expo, September 12-13 in Norway, Iowa.  Expo hours are from 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM on Saturday, and 10:30 AM to 5:00 PM on Sunday.

The I-Renew Expo will feature over 60 workshops and speakers that will cover everything from wind, solar and geothermal energy to incorporating green building technologies into new and retro-construction. There will also be information about green job opportunities and ways to identify and implement sustainable foods and lifestyle choices. A demonstration area will feature working solar and wind power displays, and cars that run on alternative fuels. Exhibitors of all types will be on hand to answer questions.

 

Great food will be provided by local vendors, hands-on children's activities are planned, and area musicians will entertain attendees. Admission price is $10 per day for adults. Children under 3 are free and kids from 3-12 are $5 per day. I-Renew members are admitted free of charge. Campers can set up on part of the 60-acre site for a nominal fee of $10 per night.

The I-Renew Expo 2009 is being hosted by Frontier Natural Products Co-op, a leading manufacturer of natural and organic products.  Frontier is located 3021 78th Street, Norway, Iowa.  Coming from either direction on Highway 30, turn south on 30th Avenue and then take the first left in Norway on Euclid Rd.


The I-Renew Energy and Sustainability Expo relies on volunteers to help organize and run the Expo. If you can help in any way, sign up on their website or give I-Renew a call. Visit www.irenew.org for ongoing updates.
