Mark your calendars for informative and money savings ideas to make your house more energy efficient and your property more sustainable. The Environmental Advisory Council (EAC) has set up a program called Sustainable Saturdays to assist residents in moving forward with the energy efficiency and green objectives they have.
Sustainable Saturdays through the summer will highlight what some Township residents have done to reduce their energy consumption and save money. The residents will give an introductory talk at the Chester Springs Library and then take the group to their home to see the ideas and systems in practice.
